Open house coloring pages of the home they're touring
Parents can't look at closets while a five-year-old is bored. Hand the kids a coloring page of the very house they're standing in, with your face and phone number in the corner.
Why a coloring page works at an open house
Families with young kids are some of your most serious buyers, and they're the hardest to show a home to. A coloring page gives kids something to do at the kitchen table while parents walk through, ask questions and picture themselves living there.
Because the page is a drawing of the actual listing, it doesn't feel like a generic giveaway. It goes home in the car, ends up on the fridge, and keeps your name and number in front of a family that's actively shopping for a house.
What's on the page
- A clean, black-and-white drawing of the home, drawn from your listing photo, house number and all.
- A headline in big bubble letters kids can color, like "Thanks for coming to our Open House!"
- The address and open house date and time.
- Your cartoon portrait and contact card: name, brokerage, phone, email and website.
- "Artist" and "Age" lines, so kids sign their work.
How to set it up
- Upload the front-of-home photo from your listing and your headshot.
- Pick "Open house" and add the date and time.
- Download the letter-size PDF, print a stack, and set it out with a cup of crayons.
It takes about a minute, and your cartoon is saved for the next listing.
Tips from the kitchen table
- Print 15 to 20 copies for a typical Saturday open house.
- Set a small table near the kitchen where parents can see their kids from the main living area.
- Snap a photo of a finished page (with permission) for your social media. It stops the scroll.
- Send the PDF to past clients with kids in the neighborhood as an invitation.
