Little toy cottage
This little project is quite a contrast to the previously made P-Body- Not surprisingly, actually, as this was commissioned by a 4-year old girl. And girlish it is indeed:
A nice little cottage.
This can be used as a toy, or just for decoration.
The original template is a little small for playing, so you may consider scaling this up. The good news is that this is really easy to build. The template is fairly self-explanatory and should be doable even for young children (say, starting from 6-8 years? My four year old isn’t quite ready yet, though).
When I say, it’s little, I mean it. Here it is on a CD for size comparison:
Here is a different color scheme, less kitsch, more swedish cottage:
They go together quite well, and in fact with a little patience you can build a small town out of them. If there is sufficient interest in other color schemes, I will consider adding more. And probably new house types as well. Let’s see.
Here are the templates as PDFs, both for the white and red version:

AWESOME!
Yes please, I’d love more colours and more versions – I’m going to buy sturdy paper tomorrow and would love to build a small city. Maybe even as advent calendar, storing tiny sweets in each house. It might even be possible to illuminate the houses with LEDs…
Before I saw these houses, I wanted to make your nativity scene as an advent calendar, but now I’m dreaming of making both
THANKS a lot for all these great templates!

Hi, Have just discovered your via Jessica at How About Orange. Your alphabet is amazzzing! These houses—-I have been searching for a house printable, something to make various sizes and shapes of houses to make with/for my 3 year old. These are exactly the kind of house I was looking for! Would love a few more variations! Thanks for taking the time to do what you do. Keri
