Concentric Patterned Hearts: 2nd Grade Valentine’s Day Project

A colorful, hand-drawn Valentine's Day card with concentric patterned hearts and "Happy Valentine's Day" written on it.

Concentric means that the shapes share the same center and are placed inside one another.

Patterns are arrangements of repeated parts

Creating concentric patterned hearts are a great way to explore creativity, pattern making, size and shape.  We made these in 2nd grade around Valentine’s Day, but this would also be a nice idea for a Mother’s Day card or picture.  The children could write or draw about their moms in the spaces around the hearts.

A colorful, hand-drawn heart features concentric patterned hearts with stripes, zigzags, and small red hearts—a perfect example of pattern art for 2nd grade displayed on a white background.

  1. Thanks! I teach 2nd grade, and begin each year showing them how to care for watercolors. Each child has a painting day once a week. They clean up after themselves, and learn to keep the colors clean and the brushes safe. Then, in December, we put watercolors away and get out yellow, blue, red, and white tempera and learn how to blend colors. I like the heart lesson because it teaches the word concentric!
