Free Gingerbread House Coloring Pages (Printable PDFs)

1) Three-House Wall Art (Mini Village)
Color and cut three different gingerbread houses. On bright blue poster board, arrange them like a tiny village. Add paper candy canes, mini trees, and simple ornaments you cut from construction paper. Glue everything down and sprinkle a little glitter glue “snow” along the roofs. Instant holiday wall art.

2) Gingerbread House Greeting Card
Fold a small piece of cardstock into a card. Color and cut one full house and glue it to the front. Inside, draw a cozy scene—string lights, a rug, maybe a little window—and leave room for a short holiday message. Simple, sweet, and perfect for neighbors or teachers.

3) 3-D Shadow-Box House
Turn a small box on its side. Glue a sturdy strip of cardboard halfway up inside to look like a second floor. Color a house and glue it to the “back wall.” Cut extra bits (gumdrops, wreaths) from other pages to layer on the foreground. Add tiny paper people or pets to finish the scene.

4) Classroom Gingerbread Village (Foam Base)
Wrap a long piece of craft foam with green felt to make a base. Have students color and cut houses, then tape each to a craft stick. Snip small slits in the felt and insert the sticks so the village stands up. Label street names with paper signs. Great for a hallway display.

5) One-of-a-Kind House Poster
Start with a large poster board. Glue on a finished house, then decorate the surroundings: glitter “snow,” puffy-paint icing, paper stars, a big paper moon. Kids can draw paths, trees, and a simple skyline. It’s a fun open-ended art piece for a bedroom or classroom wall.

6) Gingerbread House Tree Ornament
Color and cut a smaller house. Add tiny “candies” (buttons, sequins, or paper dots). Seal with clear contact paper or back with cereal-box cardboard. Punch a top hole and thread ribbon. Write the year on the back—hello keepsake.

7) Milk-Carton Centerpiece Trio
Rinse and dry two quart-size cartons and one pint-size carton. Wrap each with finished gingerbread house pages (trim to fit). The pointed tops look like roofs; add cotton “snow” along the ridge. Arrange the small carton between the tall ones and sprinkle paper “gumdrops” on the table.

8) New Look for a Well-Loved Book
Measure a favorite holiday cookbook or storybook. Trim a finished house page to fit the cover, glue it smooth, and seal with clear contact paper so it wipes clean. It adds a cheerful touch to your baking nook or bedtime stack.

9) Tiny House With a Chimney (Gift Box)
Start with a small cardboard box. Cover the four sides with trimmed house cutouts. Make a simple roof from folded poster board and glue on top. Roll a thin rectangle into a chimney tube and attach. Fill with wrapped treats, or tuck a small bunch of cotton in the chimney for “smoke.”

10) Window-Frame Photo House
Choose a house page with several windows. Carefully cut out the panes. Tape small photos behind each opening (or draw family faces). Back the whole piece with cardstock, add magnets for the fridge, or punch a hole and hang as a picture plaque.

Tips:

• Let glue and glitter dry flat on a tray.

• Back thin pages with cardstock to prevent curling.

• Grown-ups should handle craft knives and hot tools.

• Date the back for an easy keepsake.
