I don't know if tile backer-board (think that's what I usually hear it 
called) is really rated for continuous moisture exposure.  I figured it 
could tolerate a little dampness but wasn't meant to be soaked.

How about the skirting they sell for mobile homes?  Think it's plastic 
or fiberglass material.  Most the ones I've seen have a faux rock or 
brick pattern molded in;  it might be too large a scale to look right on 
a miniature house, but something to consider.

Sounds like a fun project;  hope the granddaughter likes it.
