Love Letter Bursting From an Open Envelope
Coloring guide
An open envelope rests at the bottom of the page, and a folded letter slides out of the top. Above it float four hearts in different sizes: the biggest in the center, two medium ones on each side of it, and two small ones tucked into the lower corners. Little curved lines around the hearts make it look like they're bursting out of the envelope. Big, simple shapes and bold outlines help younger kids who are still learning to stay inside the lines. The large blank letter is also a spot for a child to write a message or a name. Pinks, reds and purples work for the hearts, and a soft blue or yellow envelope will make them stand out. Free to print for Valentine's Day, a card for a friend, or a quiet craft afternoon. Looking for more? Our Adult Coloring and Color by Number (Adult) coloring pages pair nicely with this Love page.
