First paper models for a 6 year old?

I'm looking for simple models preferably of London landmarks. For my daughters to have a go. My girls ages are nearly seven and five and a half years.
The five year old has the most patience of the two and is good with appropriate scissors. I don't want anything to involved, simple and reasonably effective when finished. Some play value when complete would be good.

Take a look at Paper London
I am linking the US version of Amazon, but you should be able to find it over on your side of the pond, https://smile.amazon.com/Paper-Londo.../dp/1782402594
20 models depicting various London landmarks and iconic vehicles, all designed by a fellow member Kell Black

https://www.searchlock.com/search?sa...ercraft+models

Google image search [London Papercraft models] This throws up quite a few simple ones. Just click on a picture then select 'Visit site'. Mostly that will get you to where the download is offered.

Word of warning ... Using the word model in a Google image search will also bring up a different type of 'mode'l that you may prefer your youngsters not to see.

You might check out some of the buildings from Fiddler's Green. http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/ You can pick 3 free models when you sign up and being pdf format, mistakes can be reprinted. Paper Toys, Paper Toys - Paper Cut-Out Models - Free at PaperToys.com Has a free model of Big Ben that might not be too tough.

Another search should be 'London Postcard Models'

Canon has some new mini buildings like Big Ben and Tower Bridge.

PaperToys.com has the Globe Theatre, a London cab, etc.

Thank you all. There's some interesting possibilities I'll let the tread run a bit longer to see what else turns up then show the girls a short list.

great models but dont know if a 5 year old or seven and half year old would be up to the task.
