Candy Path Through a Gingerbread House Village

Three frosted gingerbread houses line a winding, candy-dotted path in this detailed village scene. Each has an icing-scalloped roof, heart-shaped doors and windows, and a peppermint swirl on the chimney. Three smiling gingerbread cookies walk the trail: a boy with a bow tie in front, a girl with a hair bow in the middle, and a small one near the second house. The yard is full of giant swirly lollipops, round candy bushes, frosted pine trees, a small arched bridge and a picket fence, with snowy mountains and puffy clouds behind. Older kids who like fine detail will enjoy the tiny patterns on the roofs and stepping stones, while the lollipops are roomy enough for younger ones. Red and white stripes suit the peppermint swirls, and warm brown is good for the cookie figures. It's a free printable PDF for a cozy holiday afternoon. This fits right in with our Gingerbread House coloring pages — see also Thanksgiving and New Year.
