How to use these pages

The easiest pages are the simple gingerbread man (a smile and two big buttons, nothing else) and the big gingerbread man waving. The family, cookie tray and folk-tale pages have more pieces for children of about 4 to 8. Looking for a blank or plain gingerbread man? The simple page leaves room to draw your own icing, and the gingerbread man template is an outline in several sizes to cut out.

Gingerbread is usually coloured golden or light brown, with white icing and bright candy buttons. Children can glue on buttons, sequins or cotton wool for a craft, or use the page with the gingerbread man story at school: read it together, then colour the running gingerbread man.

More Christmas characters: the snowman colouring pages, candy cane colouring pages and Christmas elf colouring pages.
