Create a chatty paper heart craft with our free printable conversation hearts!
A Heart to Heart Chat
While I’m not big on Valentine’s Day for the typical mushy romantic stuff, I’m all about the decorating and crafting, you guys!
I love hearts, I love creating printables, and I’ve always loved getting creative.
That said, my kids have outgrown the crafting with Mom stage of life, so I’m currently all about creating printables for young moms to experience the joy I once did with my own kiddos!
So, if you’re looking to make a heart-to-heart kind of craft, this one is for you!
Conversation Hearts
According to McGill, the origin of conversation hearts is an interesting one, as it started in a Pharmacy back in 1847.
Who would have thought?
Either way, these popular candy hearts are widely consumed and given each February for Valentine’s Day!
We tend to skip the food dye and eat a more organic diet, so we don’t personally eat these in our home, but they are still so much fun to use as a decorating and crafting theme!
So, whether you eat them or you don’t, these printable conversation hearts can be fun for anyone!
Printable Conversation Hearts
In recent years, I began creating free crafting templates for parents and educators.
While all my other crafty printables so far have been available in black and white, these bad boys are in full color, you guys!
That said, I did toy around with the idea of a black and white candy heart template, and I may release one down the road.
For now, though, I created these simple printable conversation hearts that can be used for crafting or decorating!
Check em’ out!
Conversation Hearts in All Sizes
Much like most of my crafting templates, I chose to make these printable candy hearts in multiple sizes!
First, I created a large-sized heart in 6 different colors with kid-friendly words or phrases (as seen in the green heart below!).
I chose to focus on simple, light-hearted, non-romantic words and phrases for this printable.
Next, I created 2 different medium-sized hearts (a set of 2 to a page + a set of 4 to a page).
Again, these hearts are in 6 different colors with kid-friendly phrases. The 4-to-a-page set includes 2 bonus words (cool + wow) in repeat colors.
Lastly, I created a full sheet of tiny hearts! The small-sized hearts have the same word/color combinations as the previous-sized sheets and a 2 bonus word hearts.
What’s with the bonus words?? Not going to lie, you guys, I totally just did this to fill the page. I’m not a fan of leaving empty space and just thought they would be fun to toss in.
Bonus Candy Heart Printable
While I’m pretty content with the original set of these conversation hearts, I decided to spend a little extra time making a bonus sheet for you guys!
This bonus sheet is only available in the smallest size and was created to give you a few extra options.
For example, in all the other sizes, all the pinks say kisses while all the blues say hugs, etc.
This version, however, has a slight variation allowing for new word/color combinations.
Honestly, I thought this would be fun for those who intend to use these smaller conversation hearts as table scatter.
Who knows, I may get bored and make even more versions of this one down the road!
