M and I colored these using a mix of STABILO markers. M loves using the Power Max markers because it looks just like the Power markers that I use, but it's chunkier and easier for him to grip. I love them because they're washable, and don't dry out for a long time, even if he forgets to cap them.

Color-in paper toys are the perfect "together" activity, because they are open-ended enough for multiple age groups to enjoy. I designed these with a mature enough style for adults but it's still relatable for kids.

Even though they're designed for kids, I found the Power markers to be so much fun to use! The color quality is on par with my "grown-up" markers but it has the same quality as the Power Max markers: if I forget to cap them properly, they don't dry out for weeks!

How to craft and assemble these printable paper houses:

Watch the video below to see it in action. Or scroll down for step-by-step photos:

1. Color, color, color! This part is the most fun! Use different shades of similar colors for a little extra texture.

Add your own detail, or to simplify things, combine details and color them in together.

2. Cut out your printable paper houses using scissors. If you want (grown-ups only) you can cut out details such as windows and doors. On this one, I even made the shutters open and close.

3. (Grown ups only) use a craft knife to cut slits in the lines underneath your house as pictured.

4. Fold your house on the dashed lines – those are marked for folding.

5. Insert your tabs into the slots from the outside inward. This is a bit difficult. If you pull it through from the inside of the house, it will work, but if need be you can widen the slots (it will just be less secure once assembled).

If you really want the kids to be able to complete this on their own, you can skip the "tab and slot system" and just glue the tab to the base. If you DO use the tab and slot, you can fold them flat for storage, but kids will need help cutting the slots open, and may need help pulling the tab through.

They'll also need help if you're doing cutout windows and doors.

Details, details, who cares? The idea is that you have the time of your life creating these paper houses and that you allow yourself and the kids to be creative while doing so.

Don't be afraid to use color and imagination as I did when creating the templates.
