Gingerbread Family Posing by a Frosted Gingerbread House
Coloring guide
Four smiling gingerbread cookie characters stand together in front of a frosted house. Dad is tall and wears a bow tie, and mom has a big bow in her hair and a ruffled collar. The two little ones stand between them holding hands, a boy with a bow tie and a girl with a small bow. Behind the family, the house has scalloped icing along the roof, round candy dots, a swirly peppermint window, candy-striped corners, a snow-topped chimney, an arched door and two framed windows. Snowy mounds sit behind them, and at the right stands a small decorated Christmas tree with a star, candy canes and peppermints. Golden brown suits the cookies, red and green can go on the bows and tree, and the peppermint window likes bold stripes. Print this sheet at home, no sign-up.

A suggested order, zone by zone — skip around as you like.
- 1Start with the big gingerbread house walls and the tall gingerbread man, filling them with gingerbread brown and leaving the snow and frosting white.
- 2Color the mother and little gingerbread figures in gingerbread brown, using light tan for the little boy's hair and blush pink for the mother's collar.
- 3Fill the door and the windows: make the door forest green with a golden yellow knob, and color the window panes sky blue.
- 4Add the candy red parts: the bow ties, the hair bows, the chimney bricks, the candy stripes on the posts and the peppermint swirl on the roof.
- 5Color the Christmas tree forest green with a dark brown trunk and a golden yellow star, then add candy red and white ornaments.
- 6Optional: Add a little darker brown shading along the edges of the gingerbread figures to make them look puffy.
