Candy-Covered Gingerbread House With a Heart Door

A little gingerbread house sits in a snowy yard, covered in candy details. The front wall has a round-topped wooden door with a heart on it, edged with a ring of small dots. Swirly curls decorate the wall on both sides of the door. Above it, a bow and wreath sit between two crossed candy canes, with a swirl peppermint candy nearby. The slanted roof has a grid of icing lines with small hearts and round candy dots at the crossings, and thick dripping icing runs along the edges. A brick chimney with peppermints sits on top. Beside the house you'll see a big swirl lollipop, a small decorated tree, striped candy cane posts, shuttered windows and stepping stones leading to the door. Try coloring each roof section in a different shade so the grid pattern pops, then use the peppermints to practice alternating two colors in the swirls. This printable page offers lots of small spaces for markers or colored pencils.
