Everything on Paper Doll Printables is made for a calm, repeatable craft session. Start with one complete story, print at the right size, and keep the little pieces together.
- 01
Choose a story
Pick pieces that belong together.
Choose one complete printable first, then add a room or playset for a longer story. The Family House Collection is an easy first story.

Print at 100%
Match the paper in your printer.
Select US Letter or A4, then choose “Actual size” or 100% in the print dialogue. Turn off “Fit to page”; it can change the scale of pieces that belong together. Cardstock makes dolls and tabs sturdier.

Cut & play
Cut slowly, then keep every piece.
Cut on the solid outlines with adult help where needed. Fold tabs away from the doll only where the page shows them, then use the included envelope or a small box for storage.

Quick answers
Made for a good craft afternoon.
- Do I need special paper?
- No. Regular printer paper works; 65–80 lb cardstock lasts longer for dolls and furniture.
- Can I print in black and white?
- Yes. Choose a Coloring download when it is offered, then add your own colors.
- What if the pieces look too small?
- Check that your printer is not set to “Fit to page” and print at 100% / Actual size.
- Can I combine two different downloads?
- Use the doll and clothes shown together in each printable unless the template page explicitly says that another pack fits. Different printable sets can use different cut and tab shapes.
