Frequently Asked Questions
Is this really 3D or just a flat cut-and-paste activity? It's genuinely 3D. Each building folds in half — both faces are fully illustrated — and a grass tab folds forward to anchor it directly onto the road map. The finished city stands up on a table and holds up to real play.
Do I need cardstock or a special printer? No. Any home inkjet or laser printer works. Regular 8.5 x 11 letter paper is all you need. Cardstock is optional and only recommended for classroom settings with heavy use.
What ages is this designed for? Ages 6 and up, with adult help recommended for the folding steps. The black and white version works well for ages 4–6 who want to color before building. The blank templates are great for ages 8–10 who want to design completely original buildings.
How many times can I print it? As many times as you want. This is a digital download licensed for personal and single-classroom use. Print one city today and a fresh one next month when your child wants to start over.
Can my child add their own buildings? Yes — the blank template pages are designed exactly for that. Kids draw their own storefronts, invent vehicles, and create characters from their own neighborhood. Every city ends up completely unique.
Does this work for a community helpers classroom unit? Perfectly. Every profession includes its own building, vehicle, and standing character — firefighters, police officers, doctors, dentists, teachers, mail carriers, farmers, veterinarians, pilots, bakers, astronauts, and more.
How long does it take to build? Most families and teachers spread it across 2–3 short sessions — one for coloring, one for cutting and folding, one for building and play. It also works beautifully as a week-long classroom center activity.
Is anything shipped to me? Nothing ships. You receive a PDF instantly after purchase and can print it as many times as you need.
