This page has 21 free gingerbread house coloring pages, each a single portrait sheet sized for US Letter paper. 4 pages stand a gingerbread man next to the house, 5 bring in another character (a snowman, a gnome, a nutcracker, a bird carrying presents and a reindeer), and page 18 fits 4 small houses on one sheet. Page 16 is the simplest, with 45 enclosed shapes; page 5 has the most at 291. Tap the pages you want in the grid below, then press Print or PDF.
What is on each of the 21 gingerbread house pages
Every caption in the grid shows its page number, so you can pick by group below. 11 of the 21 pages show the cottage on its own, which leaves the candy trim as the only fine detail to work around.
- A gingerbread man beside the house: page 2 (a clock on the gable, 2 candy canes in the snow), page 3 (a tall cottage with swirled icing, the gingerbread man standing in the doorway), page 5 (a lattice roof, wrapped sweets along the wall and 4 lollipops) and page 12 (a gingerbread man in a bow tie in front of a round window).
- Another character at the door: page 10 (a snowman under an ice-cream-cone chimney), page 11 (a gnome between 2 lollipop trees), page 14 (a nutcracker holding a snow globe with a house inside), page 15 (a bird in earmuffs carrying wrapped presents) and page 21 (a reindeer beside a decorated tree).
- The cottage on its own: pages 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 13, 16, 17, 19 and 20. Page 6 tiles the roof with round cookies, page 8 covers a domed roof in chocolate drops, page 9 runs a candy path up to the door, and page 20 puts a heart above the door on a hill with 3 lollipops.
- More than one house: page 18 draws 4 small gingerbread houses on the same sheet, each decorated differently, which is the one to use when 2 children want the same page.
For the rest of December, the Christmas coloring pages cover trees, stockings and Santa, and the candy coloring pages keep the sweets without the house.
Which gingerbread house pages suit which age
The simplest page is 16, and the most detailed is page 5. The table sorts all 21 pages by the number of enclosed white shapes, counted on a same-size scan of every file. Fewer shapes means bigger areas to fill, which matters more to a 4-year-old than what the picture shows.
| Enclosed shapes | Pages | Count |
|---|---|---|
| 50 or fewer (big areas) | 16 | 1 |
| 51 to 100 | 12, 19 | 2 |
| Over 100 (small details) | 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21 | 18 |
Page 16 has 45 shapes, a plain cottage with a wavy icing roof, and pages 12 and 19 follow with 81 and 91. At the other end, page 5 has 291 because every diamond in the lattice roof is closed, page 9 has 275 for its path of small sweets, and page 18 has 261 spread across its 4 houses. 18 of the 21 pages go past 100 shapes, so this set leans towards school age rather than preschool.
How big the gingerbread house pages print
At one page per sheet, each gingerbread house page prints about 7.9 × 10.2 inches on US Letter paper. Every file is 1000 × 1294 pixels, roughly 127 pixels per inch at that size, with a thin frame around the picture and a small VerbNow.com mark in the bottom corner.
- 4 pages per sheet shrinks each picture to about 3.8 × 5.0 inches. That suits the big-area page (16) in the table above; the 18 pages with over 100 shapes get too small to color neatly.
- Ink saver turns light grey pixels white and leaves the black outlines untouched, so it changes little on these black line-art pages.
- Select several pages at once in the grid and the PDF button builds one file with all of them, in the order you picked.
