These fun printable gingerbread house drawing and writing prompts will keep the kids busy decorating and colouring a gingerbread house, and writing about who lives there.

This fun printable gingerbread house drawing prompt is the ultimate no mess, no sugar, way to decorate a gingerbread house!

There’s no messy frosting, no roof to fall in, and no sugar rush, and you can print as many copies as you want and decorate as many gingerbread houses as you like!

This gingerbread house drawing prompt offers a starting point to spark your kids imaginations and encourage creativity. It’s a bit different to a traditional coloring page because kids need to add their own designs and ideas. There are no right or wrong ways to decorate the gingerbread house, and there is no ‘coloring in the lines’ to worry about, so it’s a great way to encourage a reluctant drawer, and a great boredom buster.

Once you’ve decorated the gingerbread house, you might like to write a story about it too. The matching gingerbread house printable writing pages turns this art activity into an easy literacy activity too.
