These free printable house stencils give you a set of simple house shapes and outlines in different styles and sizes, ready to print and cut out by hand. The clean, mostly straight lines make them easy to cut, so even younger children can manage with a little help. Each design prints on a standard A4 or US Letter sheet — just pick a house you like below, open the full-size image and print it.

How to use these house stencils

  1. Choose a house design below and open the full-size image.
  2. Print it on plain paper, or on card stock for a stencil you can reuse.
  3. Cut out the shape, or tape the sheet down and trace the outline onto your material.
  4. Colour, paint or decorate your house with doors, windows and other details.

Craft ideas with house templates

A simple house outline is one of the most useful shapes for kids' crafts and seasonal projects. Popular ways to use them include:

  • Colouring pages and cut-and-paste paper crafts for preschoolers
  • Appliqué, collage and homemade greeting cards
  • Bedroom or classroom wall decorations
  • Winter and Christmas village scenes for windows and displays
  • Spooky or haunted houses for Halloween projects

Printing tip

Print at 100% to keep the house at full size, or open the image in any photo editor to make it larger or smaller before printing. Card stock works best if you want to cut the house out and reuse it as a stencil.
