Gingerbread House Coloring Pages

Gingerbread house coloring pages with thick, friendly lines: candy-cane cottages, a gingerbread village in the snow, a candy train and plenty of holiday baking. Bear Decorating a Gingerbread House, Capybara Building a Gingerbread House and Gingerbread Cottage with Candy Canes are quick, bold pages; Gingerbread Village in the Snow and Gingerbread Train with Candy have more to color. They suit adults and teens who want a festive page that is calm to finish, and they work well as a table activity at a holiday get-together. Every page is a free PDF in US Letter and A4, or color it online.

Tips for gingerbread pages

  • Use two browns from the same family: a light caramel for the cookie and a darker brown on the shadow side and along the edges. Add the darker one once the first coat is dry for a crisp edge.
  • Leave the icing as bare white paper and color around it, stopping just inside the line. A touch of pale blue-gray on one side of each icing line makes it look piped.
  • On candy canes, color the red stripes with light pressure and stay inside the lines; the white stripes stay bare.
  • A Christmas bakery palette works well: cranberry, pine green, cream, gingerbread brown and soft gold. Use bright gumdrop colors as small accents and repeat each one 2 or 3 times across the page.
