Love is considered to be the most fundamental factor in terms of a person's emotional and cognitive development. Love is a socialization that individuals learn from the moment they are born. People who are raised with love during childhood become happy adults. Therefore, childhood is a critical period. A significant part of this period takes place during the preschool years. Teaching the concept of love to preschool children should be considered as an important support for personality development. Providing a loving environment for children, helping them express their emotions and understand the feelings of others is necessary. Additionally, it should aim to develop empathy skills and positively influence their relationships with others. In this study, the love-themed drawings of children aged 5-6 in the preschool period are being analyzed. This qualitative research involves the thematic analysis of the drawings. According to the thematic analysis conducted, the primary figures in children's drawings are seen to be houses, clouds, people, sun, family, nature, and hearts. It is observed that children use colors such as yellow, red, blue, green, orange, pink, brown, black, and purple in their drawings. It can be said that children use figures and colors harmoniously when depicting the theme of love in their drawings.
