Children that are just learning how to draw do their best work when they have what I call anchor points to refer to. For instance, asking them to "place their pencil in the center of a sheet of paper and draw up and back to the center for half of a heart" is so much clearer than just asking them to "draw half a heart".

Those guide lines could be made from just folding and creasing the paper, or actually printing them if you have a lot of students. They take all the guesswork out of getting that large heart centered on the sheet of paper. And once the heart is in place, drawing the rest of this simple teddy is a piece of cake.
