About this worksheet
This gingerbread house sits on a single curved line of ground, with a steep triangular roof dripping in wavy icing along its lower edge. Five round gumdrops sit along the roofline, and a short chimney pokes up from the top right corner. Below the roof, one big arched door fills the middle of the house, flanked by two square windows, each divided into four small panes. A candy cane leans against the wall on either side of the door, both striped from top to bottom.
The door and roof are the sort of large, closed shapes a young child can fill in with a few confident strokes, which makes this a good page for a first go at staying inside the lines. The window panes and the candy cane stripes are smaller and ask for a steadier hand, so there is a natural mix of easy and fiddly bits on the same sheet. It is also a nice one for talking through out loud: which colour for the roof, which for the door, whether the gumdrops should all match or each be different.
There is nothing tricky about the drawing itself, but the small window panes and candy cane stripes push it a notch above the simplest house outlines, so it suits a child who has coloured a few pages before and is ready for a little more detail. Younger children can happily stick to the roof, door and ground and skip the fiddly parts altogether.
How to use this sheet
Start with the roof and door, the two biggest spaces, before moving to the windows. If the candy cane stripes feel too fiddly, let your child colour the whole cane one colour instead of following each stripe.
