Doll House Colouring Page

This is a plain, front-on doll house with a tall peaked roof and a second, smaller roofline sitting just beneath it, giving the gable a layered look. A short rectangular chimney pokes up on the left side of the roof. Downstairs there are two square windows, each split into four panes, flanking an arched front door with a round doorknob and a step underneath. Upstairs sits one more arched window, also divided into four panes. On either side of the doorstep stands a potted flower, two in total, each with six rounded petals and a small circle in the middle.

The walls and roof give a child plenty of room to colour in one steady sweep, which is good practice for staying inside a big, curved outline without much fuss. The three windows are the fiddly part: nine small panes altogether, each one asking for a bit more control with the crayon or pencil than the open wall space does. The matching flower pots are a nice excuse to talk about matching colours, or to make the two sides different on purpose and see how it looks.

It sits in the middle of the difficulty range for this age group: easier than anything with lots of tiny background detail, but the window panes make it more of a challenge than a single big shape would be. It suits children who have already coloured a few simple pictures and are ready to try smaller sections, roughly three to five year olds, with a grown-up nearby for the fiddly bits.
