In the Holly Jolly Activity Book, children are invited to draw the house they would dream of living in. The prompt has inspired a steady stream of colorful visions, and this latest batch adds even more variety, warmth, and personality to the growing collection. Each submission serves as a window into a child’s hopes — where families gather, how light moves through rooms, and what small rituals make a house feel like a home. The shared drawings form a gentle gallery that celebrates creativity and imagination, inviting other young readers to picture their own ideal spaces and perhaps borrow a bright idea for their next sketch.
The Floor Plan by Isaac, 8, BC shows a clever layout drawn by an eight-year-old from British Columbia. Isaac imagined a home where sunlight spills into every room, with a practical kitchen connected to a welcoming living area, and a small study tucked near the entry for quiet moments and homework. The lines are confident, the spaces balanced, and the color choices lean toward warm yellows and soft greens that evoke comfort and welcome. Storage lines the walls, the kitchen is easy to navigate, and the overall flow guides the eye through the home with obvious care.
Spring House by Katrina, 8, AB highlights a bright, airy design from Alberta. Katrina’s plan favors open spaces for family time, a sunlit dining nook, and a porch that would catch gentle prairie breezes in the evenings. Large windows flood interiors with light, while built-in nooks provide cozy spots for reading and conversation. The layout favors safe transitions between rooms, with rounded corners and soft edges that reflect a thoughtful approach to play and daily life. The result is a home that feels cheerful, practical, and ready for everyday adventures.
Spongebob’s “Pineapple under the sea” by Tenley, 9, MB offers a playful escape envisioned by a nine-year-old from Manitoba. The drawing blends whimsy with structure, balancing bright undersea colors with features that support pretend play and sharing. The plan hints at zones for imaginative activities, light-filled spaces for storytelling, and room to welcome friends for quick, joyful gatherings. Tenley’s piece radiates energy and optimism, using bold shapes and cheerful tones to convey a home where imagination can flourish.
Dragon’s Den by Tiffany, 14, NL presents a bolder, more mature concept from Newfoundland and Labrador. Tiffany’s design blends drama with practicality, featuring distinct zones for study, hobbies, and social time, all connected by clear pathways and large windows that frame views of the outdoors. The composition suggests a home built for focus and creativity, with spaces that adapt as needs change and a sense of room for growth that older children appreciate.
