House coloring book is an original invention for children's leisure, which combines two types of activities: games and creativity. Being made from environmentally friendly material - corrugated cardboard, the house coloring book allows the child to realize all his fantasies; just take paints, crayons or markers, and you can start creating!

Children's cardboard houses: features and advantages

No more need to build barricades out of blankets when your little one now has their own shelter. But before you start playing, you need to assemble it. This does not require glue or tools - all parts are easily connected to each other using a simple puzzle system. House coloring books for children, despite the simplicity of their design, hide many advantages:

  • They allow you to develop creative skills from an early age, because everyone loves to color, and the activity itself allows you to spend time usefully, and at the same time protect walls and other interior details from children’s art;
  • The necessary brain centers are activated to allow manifestation spatial thinking, realize fantasy;
  • A ready-made coloring house made of cardboard in an individual design is an excellent attribute for role-playing games.

In addition, the constructed castle or fortress is characterized by mobility; you can easily move the product to a convenient place, take it with you to the dacha and organize performances with your family.

Which house to paint?

Domestic manufacturers delight with a variety of offers for little fidgets. It can be either an ordinary cardboard house in the form of a cottage and a hut, or a real castle for a princess or knight. Products are also found in the most unusual form:

  • Kitchen;
  • Theater;
  • Pizzeria;
  • Shop;
  • Rack;
  • Locomotive;
  • Ship;
  • Airplane;
  • Dinosaur.

And for sure it's not full list. And if parents doubt which cardboard house coloring book is suitable for their child, just observe what he is interested in or who he would like to become - a brave knight or an airplane pilot? There are also many thematic options for girls, so everyone will find a cozy corner where they can play, be creative and have fun.

There is a whole page on the “Holiday Again” website. Now I want to add one more idea, since it seemed to me quite interesting and budget-friendly for such a case.

A folding cardboard house will entertain little visitors in cafes and restaurants, it will be useful in hobby centers, shopping centers, playgrounds, at summer events where there are many children, etc.

The essence of cardboard houses

You receive a flat box in which a fairly large house is compactly packaged (for example, 87 cm high, but there are different ones). A design has already been applied to the walls and roof, which can be painted simultaneously by the whole group. Naturally, no one forbids you to do interior decor and paint the inside of the house.

I like that after the game, the home can be rolled up and put away until the next holiday, or simply thrown away if the previous team of artists did not leave space for creativity on the walls. If there is a lot of space in the establishment, then the painted houses are disassembled, because you can hide and play in them, move them from place to place and even turn them over. Lightweight and safe designs.

What to draw with?

Of course, it will be beautiful if you paint the whole house with bright gouache. But we all understand that children will not be able to do this carefully without staining the floor and clothes. For young artists, it is better to prepare bright markers with a wide shaft, wax crayons and pencils.

By the way, you can also use colored paper with an adhesive side for appliques or regular colored paper and a glue stick. Let the children not paint, but cover the house with small bright pieces, like a mosaic.

Which size to choose

The most impressive, of course, is the large house where you can play after the “painting” work. It can easily accommodate 2-3 children under 5 years old. There are windows and a door, it won't be dark there. The exact size of such a house is 630m x 790m x 870m.

There are cardboard houses for dolls. This is, rather, an individual coloring book for each child, but it will also be very helpful for adults during a celebration in a cafe or restaurant.

For a grandiose holiday, you can buy a whole castle. Here there is work for a dozen children, since it will not be possible to quickly paint such a structure inside and out.

How to order a cardboard house

Here are two popular options for large cardboard dwellings for princesses and pirates:

A cardboard playhouse is a salvation for furniture, sheets and blankets. After all, if a child has his own home, there is no need to build shaky structures from chairs, stools and blankets!

In this section of the online store Akusherstvo.ru you will find cardboard houses, castles and accessories for home games. Light, almost weightless, they are inexpensive, easy to assemble, and absolutely safe for children and pets.

Choosing a cardboard house for children

One of the main advantages of cardboard playhouses is the white walls. They can be painted with a felt-tip pen, pencils or gouache, and decorated with stickers and appliqués. In general, doing all the things that you absolutely cannot do with the walls of your parents’ house, but you really want to.

The main material of playhouses is corrugated cardboard. It is multi-layered and dense, therefore:

  • will not break or be dented if the house falls;
  • smooth, without burrs and roughness;
  • resists axial and plane compression well;
  • It absorbs liquid to a limited extent, so if a child spills a glass of juice on the cardboard wall, nothing will happen to the house.

Nylon ties securely fasten the parts of the structure. The cardboard structure, of course, will not withstand a year of merciless children's use, but with careful handling it will delight the whole family for several months.
