About these pages
Gingerbread men and houses for the Christmas baking season: a gingerbread man between lollipops, one skiing downhill, one wearing a bow tie and one waving from an iced house. There is a gingerbread girl in a skirt, three gingerbread kids holding hands and a gingerbread family outside their house. The houses range from a simple cottage with a chimney to a house with a candy roof, one studded with peppermints and gumdrops, a girl icing a roof and a whole gingerbread village with lollipop trees.
There are 6 easy pages with thick outlines for ages two to four, 11 for ages four to eight and 5 detailed pages for older kids and adults. Gingerbread itself is one warm brown, so children can save their brightest colours for the sweets, buttons and bows, and leave the piped icing white. For more, see the Christmas pages, the candy pages and the December pages.
Each design is its own page with a Letter and an A4 PDF, a description, and related pages, so you can print one sheet or a whole set.
Questions
Where did gingerbread houses come from?
They are usually traced to Germany in the early 1800s, around the time the Brothers Grimm published Hansel and Gretel, in which a witch lives in a house made of bread and sweets. German bakers began selling decorated houses at Christmas.
How do I colour gingerbread so it looks baked?
Start with light brown or tan all over, then add a darker brown around the edges, where real biscuits bake crisper. Leave the icing lines white and use red, green and pink for sweets and buttons.
Which gingerbread pages suit toddlers?
Use the "Easy" filter for the 6 easy pages. They show a smiling gingerbread man with buttons, one in a bow tie, a gingerbread girl and a simple cottage with a chimney, all with thick outlines.
Can I print on A4 paper?
Yes. Every page has a Letter and an A4 version. Pick the one that matches your printer.
