About Gingerbread Man coloring pages

Gingerbread is a favorite holiday treat, and our gingerbread man coloring pages capture the fun. A gingerbread man wears a Santa hat with icing squiggles on his arms, another smiles with a bow tie among candy canes, and a gingerbread reindeer sits beside a gift. There is also a gingerbread house with a snowy roof, peppermints and a candy-lined path.

Light brown or tan works for the cookie, with white for the icing lines. Buttons and candies look great in red, green and pink. Try leaving the icing white so it pops against the brown.

How to use gingerbread man coloring pages for learning

  1. Read the story. Read The Gingerbread Man, then color the page and ask your child to retell the chase in their own words.

  2. Bake and compare. Bake simple cookies together and decorate them like the picture. Compare the real cookie with the colored one.

  3. Shape hunt. Find circles, triangles and squares on the gingerbread house page. Color each shape a different color.
