Sweet shop pretend play: mithai price board, sweets to cut, sweet box and bill

A sweet shop game for children who run a mithai shop. A child weighs out laddoos, jalebi and kaju katli from the price board, which has an empty price box per kilo, packs them in a fold-up sweet box and writes the bill. The cut-out sweets have dashed cut lines and the box has a paisley border. Type a different shop, such as a bakery shop, chocolates or gift boxes, and the same sheets are drawn for it.

Frequently asked questions

How do I print the sheets?

Print each sheet at full page size on plain paper or card. Every sheet keeps a wide white margin, so it prints cleanly.

What is the difference between the three styles?

Halwai is a festive sweet-shop poster look with ornate borders. Colour-in is closed black line art with no shading. Bright is orange, pink and gold flat colour.

Can I change the shop?

Yes. Type a different shop, such as a bakery shop or chocolates, and the same sheets are drawn for it. The nine pictures on this page are fixed; a shop is a request, not a promised picture.

Does the box fold?

Yes. The sweet box is a fold-up template labelled Mithai Box, with a bill slip below it headed Bill.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
