Waving Gingerbread Man at the Door of a Gingerbread House

Coloring guide
Here's a smiling gingerbread man standing in the open doorway of his own house, waving one hand. He has a bow tie, three buttons down his tummy and wavy icing lines on his arms, belly and legs. The arched door swings open to the right and carries a pretty wreath with a bow. Gumdrops line the doorway arch. On the roof you'll find a big swirl peppermint at the top, a heart in the center, wavy icing squiggles and round candies. A small window with snowy icing sits to the left, and he's standing on a little step. Lots of small shapes make it a fun holiday pick for little hands. Warm brown suits both the man and the house, with red and green gumdrops and a bright red-and-white peppermint on top. It prints free, no sign-up needed. This fits right in with our Gingerbread House coloring pages — see also Thanksgiving and New Year.
