About these gingerbread house coloring pages

Icing drips, gumdrop roofs and candy cane posts fill these gingerbread house coloring pages. For ages 3 to 5 there is one big house per page, like the house with a gumdrop roof and a kawaii gingerbread house with a smiling face. Ages 6 to 8 add a few props, such as a gingerbread man waving from his front door or a birdhouse on a snowy branch, and kids 9 and up get full scenes like a cottage in a snowy forest and a gingerbread farmhouse with a cookie barn. Teens and adults can try a gingerbread chalet, a candy mandala and a doodle pattern.

Before you build a real gingerbread house, have children color one first and use it as a plan: which candies go on the roof, what color the door will be and where the icing goes. Keep the finished page beside the baking table as a guide.

Gingerbread House facts to share

  1. Decorated gingerbread houses became a popular holiday treat in Germany in the 1800s.
  2. Bakers glue gingerbread walls together with royal icing, a thick mix of powdered sugar and egg white that dries hard.
  3. Gingerbread gets its warm flavor from ginger, cinnamon and cloves, sweetened with molasses or honey.

Color idea: Use warm tans and browns for the gingerbread and leave white showing for the icing, then add bright reds, greens, pinks and yellows for the gumdrops, peppermints and candy canes.

Gingerbread House coloring page questions

Which gingerbread house pages suit preschoolers?

Start with the easy designs: the house with a gumdrop roof, the kawaii house with a smiling face and the tall cottage with a peppermint wreath. Each has one big house with thick outlines and almost no background, so small hands can color them with crayons.

Can I use these pages to plan a real gingerbread house?

Yes. The medium and hard pages are full of ideas you can copy in candy: gumdrop bushes, a candy cane fence, peppermint stepping stones, pretzel fences and wafer roofs. Let kids color a design, then pick candies in matching colors.

Where are the gingerbread men?

Gingerbread people appear in a few of these scenes, such as the gingerbread man waving from his door and two gingerbread friends skating by a house. For more gingerbread men, girls and cookies on their own, see the gingerbread coloring pages.
