Find the Hidden Family Heart Coloring Pages Game

Coloring page story

"Let's play a game!" said Dad. He showed Mia a little red paper heart. "I'm going to hide this heart, and you have to find it."

He hid it. "Is the heart under the blue rug?" Mia asked. "No, but that's a warm guess!" said Dad. "Is the heart inside my toy box?" "No, but you're getting closer!"

Mia looked everywhere. She looked high and she looked low. She couldn't find the little red heart. She was about to give up when Dad said, "I have one last clue. The last hidden heart is somewhere you can always find love."

Unexpected Twist: Mia thought hard. Where could she always find love? She ran up to Dad and gave him a giant hug. Dad laughed and pulled the little red paper heart from his shirt pocket. "You found it! The best place to find a heart is with someone you love."

✨ Interactive Element: This story has a game in it! Ask a grown-up to hide a "heart" (it can be anything!) for you to find. Or, point to your own heart. You found it

Coloring page Age Appropriateness

The theme of a parent's hug being a place of love is a universal and deeply comforting concept for children aged 3-5. The drawing's focus on a single, clear action (the hug) and the 'hidden' but visible heart make it an engaging and emotionally secure activity. The large, simple shapes are perfect for their coloring abilities.
