Number 7 — seven. An all-straight-lines 7 to color and seven hearts, four over three, to count and color. The diagonal stroke gets two full tracing rows before the free row, and the word seven closes the sheet.
Seven is two straight strokes: a flat line across the top, then one long diagonal slide down to the baseline. No curves at all, which makes it fast and satisfying to trace. Because the diagonal leans, remind writers to start at the top corner every single time. Seven hearts are laid out four over three, so counting crosses into a second row midway through.
Extension: seven is the days of the week, so point to a calendar and count the seven days in one row. Then draw seven more hearts trailing up the margin like a garland, and count the sheet’s hearts and your hearts together — fourteen in all.
