Why You’ll Love These Gingerbread Colouring Sheets
These festive colouring pages are perfect for both kids and adults. Children will love colouring the fun characters, while grown-ups can use them as a relaxing, mindful activity during the busy run-up to Christmas.
You can print them out as many times as you like — ideal for family nights, Christmas parties, or classroom activities. They also make lovely homemade decorations: colour a few, cut them out, and hang them on the tree or add them to cards and gift tags.
If you’re new to colouring and aren’t sure where to start, check out my beginner’s guide to adult colouring. It’s full of tips for choosing the right paper, markers, and colour palettes.
Creative Ideas For Your Finished Pages
Once you’ve coloured your gingerbread sheets, don’t just tuck them away! You can:
- Turn them into framed Christmas artwork for your kitchen or hallway
- Use them as festive wrapping paper for small gifts
- Cut out the designs and make your own gingerbread bunting
- Add them to a scrapbook or December journal

My Favourite Colouring Supplies
If you want your gingerbread pages to look their best, here are some tools I personally use and recommend (these are great places to include your Amazon affiliate links):
- Decotime Alcohol Markers – rich, smooth colours that blend beautifully for shading icing and sweets
- Home Bargains Dual Tip Markers – brilliant value for everyday colouring
- A4 bright white heavyweight printer paper – helps prevent bleeding and keeps colours vibrant
- Uniball white Signo gel pens – great for adding highlights
- Gel pens or fine liners – perfect for adding sparkly details to gumdrops and icing
- Coloured pencils – ideal for subtle shading and background textures
