Help Build Your Kiddo's Coloring Skills With These Happy Little House Coloring Pages
“Home is where the heart is” probably rings true for you, but it may not be easy for your younger kids to understand. While it might take some explaining, they may better grasp Margaret Elizabeth Sangster’s famous quote, “There’s nothing half so pleasant as coming home again.” Even if your kids love school, they no doubt also love coming home to Mama, the family pets, and their own toys each day. Having said that, the idea of home is challenging for some people, as not everyone’s home is as picture-perfect as the houses below. You might have moved too much to truly feel like anywhere was home. Or you might not have ever lived with people who took time to find fun things to do within the confines of your home. Perhaps you’re currently stressed about the clutter around your home. Still, “home” often feels safe and calm. Whether you’re just trying to keep your homebody kiddos entertained or seriously looking for ways to prepare your child for a move to a new house, these house coloring pages should help.
If our house coloring pages don’t help ease your kids into moving, though, you might have to distract them! They could prefer cute cat coloring pages or dog coloring pages. If you have a little girl or boy who likes to lose themselves in fantasy, our dramatic dragon coloring pages, pretty princess coloring pages, and fluttery fairy coloring pages might be up their alley. Whatever you or your kids are into, we’re positive we have coloring pages to fit your needs. Just take a poke around.
For now, enjoy playing house with the following free printables. Bonus: We’ve also filled this page with words of wisdom about coming and leaving home that might resonate more with your older kids. So, go ahead and paint one of these home proverbs on some barn wood to hang it up in your new house. That’s a whole afternoon’s worth of arts and crafts!
