Gingerbread Haunted House with a Ghost at the Door
Coloring guide
In the arched doorway of a gingerbread-style house stands a smiling little ghost, and its cheerful face sets the mood for the whole page. The roof is covered in swirly peppermint candies and dripping icing, with a candy-cane striped chimney on top and a small heart above the upper window. Two bats decorate the walls and a big bow sits over the door. Out front, six lollipops line a fence, and a stepping-stone path leads to the porch, flanked by five grinning jack-o'-lanterns. A crescent moon and puffy clouds fill the sky. It's a free printable that suits kids who love detailed candy patterns. Red and white work for the peppermints, orange for the pumpkins, and the ghost can stay white or turn pale blue so it stands out against the doorway. Fans of Haunted House coloring pages often like Mummies and Trick-or-Treat as well.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the big gingerbread brown areas: the house walls, the roof and the arched doorway frame.
- 2Fill the sky clouds with pale sky blue and the windows with sky blue, leaving the white icing and the ghost's body white.
- 3Color the bushes and the bottom hedges with grass green, then the fence rails with moss green and the porch steps with khaki brown.
- 4Add the bats in plum purple, the bow and the heart in bright red, and the roof candies in a mix of tangerine orange, golden yellow and hot pink.
- 5Color the wall stripes and chimney in apricot orange and hot pink, and fill the pumpkins with tangerine orange and the glowing doorway with amber yellow.
- 6Optional: Add a little darker brown along the edges of the walls and roof for a bit of shading, and keep the ghost's face and icing white for highlights.
