Melting Heart With Long Drips and Mini Hearts

A large heart with a thick double outline sits in the middle of the page, and the bottom edge melts into long, straight drips of different lengths. A few shorter, rounded drips hang between the longer ones. Inside the heart there is a big open space with curved shine lines near the top of each lobe and along the lower left edge. Two small hearts float in the upper left corner, and two more sit in the lower right corner. The wide border band and the roomy center make this easy to color for all ages. Try filling the center with a gradient from light pink to deep red, then use a different color for the border band and the drips so the melting effect really stands out. Young kids can start with the big open areas, while older kids can add patterns inside the border. It's a free printable that works well for Valentine's Day crafts.
