Addition House Worksheet for Preschoolers
This hands-on craft turns simple addition into a reusable game, as children ages 4-5 build a paper house with numbered windows and a door that can be changed with tape or number stripes. Physically swapping numbers to create new addition problems (like 2 windows + 1 door) helps children grasp that addition means combining separate groups into one total, rather than just memorizing facts.

How to use this worksheet
Cut out the house shape and glue or tape it onto a piece of cardboard so it holds up to repeated use. Attach number stripes to the windows and door using cello tape, so the numbers can be peeled off and rewritten or swapped out later. Choose two numbers — one for a window, one for the door — and ask your child to count them, then find the total by counting all together. Change the numbers and repeat several times, letting your child call out new number combinations to try.
Materials needed
- Cardboard
- Number stripes
- Cello tape
- Scissors
Extension activities
- 1Use small objects like buttons or coins to physically represent the numbers on the windows and door before totaling them.
- 2Challenge your child to find two different number combinations that add up to the same total.
- 3Add a second floor of windows to the house for slightly bigger addition problems as your child gets more confident.
- 4Turn it into a game where your child rolls a die twice to decide the window and door numbers.
