20 House Coloring Pages: Front Doors and Window Rows Free printable PDF · color online

Choose a doorway to begin

The simplest house has one large window, a plain door and a peaked roof. Other pages add a chimney, an attic window, a porch or a streetlamp. Invite your child to choose the door first and decide who might live inside. The pictures show building fronts, so there is room to invent what the rooms look like without needing to color an interior. Broad wall areas suit a crayon, while window bars and railings are easier to approach with a sharpened pencil. A child can finish the main building and leave the white sky empty.

Count across rows and floors

The apartment building has repeated little windows arranged in rows, while the pair of town houses places a tall building beside a shorter one. Compare the numbers of windows without assuming that every window represents a separate room. Some homes use square panes; others have arches or a divided attic window. Look for triangles in the roofs and rectangles in the doors, then color one type of shape with a shared shade. The porch house has columns and an outside staircase that require more care. Add a nearby classroom building from the school pictures to extend the street.

Build a neighborhood on paper

Line up a cottage, a tall home and the modern stacked building as three neighbors. Choose roof colors that repeat across the street, or let every house have its own palette. Draw house numbers, flowerpots or paths in the blank areas after the printed shapes are filled. The two pine cottages share similar doors and divided windows, so they make a useful comparison pair with different trees and framing. The forest collection can add a separate park scene. Let children introduce their buildings aloud and explain one detail they added to make the neighborhood theirs.
