About the Templates
Use these printable dollhouse templates to turn any suitable cardboard box into an elegant dollhouse! Tilt a box on its side and use the printable
templates to quickly turn it into a dollhouse, then encourage children to decorate it further by colouring, drawing in additional details and inviting
their favourite toys in to play.
The templates in the PDF file are scaled to for playing with Calico Critters or similarly-sized dolls. Want a bigger doll house? Use the archive of PNG
images and print the parts as big as you want. If you have a Cricut or Silhouette, you can also use the PNG images for cutting the designs out!
Feeling particularly crafty? Go a step further than decorating a cardboard box, and use the included plan for building a cardboard dollhouse that is
the right scale for use with the printable templates.
The best thing is, as long as you have cardboard, you can make a whole town of houses. Yet, once the children are done playing with them, you
can easily recycle them.
The templates include:
• four kinds of windows
• two kinds of doors
• roof shingles pattern
• outdoor house décor (four flower pots, a ladder, a post box, a lantern, and a clothesline with clothes)
All the templates are available in a full-colour version, as well as a colour-your-own version.
