Bringing the Brothers Grimm Tale to Life
The story of Hansel and Gretel is a staple of childhood literature. These coloring sheets help teachers and parents guide children through the narrative sequence of the Brothers Grimm classic. Kids can color the early scenes of the woodcutter's children getting lost, which you can find in our forest journey section. As they work through the pages, they can discuss the plot points, like why the birds ate the breadcrumbs, how the siblings supported each other, or how Gretel finally tricked the wicked witch to save her brother from the wooden cage.
Coloring the Candy Cottage
The most anticipated part of the story is always the discovery of the witch's home. Our candy house pages give colorists a chance to use their brightest crayons and markers to decorate the tempting architecture.
- Use warm browns and tans for the baked gingerbread walls and waffle shingles.
- Add bright pops of cherry red and mint green for the peppermint candies, gumdrops, and swirl lollipops.
- Try pastel shades for the thick frosting snow and sugar glass windows.
Pairing with Other Storybook Themes
If you are building a fairy tale lesson plan, this story pairs well with other classic fables. After finishing the scenes of the siblings escaping the forest witch, children might enjoy coloring characters from other traditional tales. You can easily combine these sheets with our Three Little Pigs collection to talk about different types of storybook houses, from straw and brick to baked goods, and how the heroes make their clever escapes.
