Coloring Techniques for Sweet Details
Coloring a gingerbread house lets you experiment with vibrant colors without the sticky mess of real royal icing. Kids can use bright reds and greens for the peppermint candies and lollipops that decorate the roofs and walkways. For the baked walls, try blending different shades of brown, bronze, and tan colored pencils to create a realistic gingerbread dough texture. Gel pens work well for adding bright, opaque highlights to the candy drops and sugar dusting on the roof.
Choosing the Right Design for Every Age
Our collection spans multiple skill levels, making it easy to find the right activity for home or classroom use during the holidays.
- Toddlers and preschoolers do well with the simple outlines, which feature thick lines, large spaces, and basic shapes like hearts and candy cane doors.
- School-aged children often enjoy the cute gingerbread friends, where they can color characters and add their own background details like a snowy winter landscape.
- Adult colorists can focus on the intricate line work found in the detailed Victorian manors, which require fine-tipped markers or sharp pencils to fill in the delicate frosting drips, ornate windows, and textured roof shingles.
Creative Ways to Display Your Artwork
Once colored, these festive houses can become part of your seasonal decorations. Cut out the completed pages and tape them to a window, or arrange several designs on a classroom bulletin board to build a collaborative paper gingerbread village. You can also print the pages at half size on heavy cardstock to fold into custom greeting cards for family and friends.
Adding a touch of glitter glue to the frosting snow or the candy pillars gives the finished artwork a nice holiday sparkle. If you are hosting a holiday party, placing a few printed pages and a cup of crayons at the kids' table provides a quiet, themed activity while the real baking happens in the kitchen.
