About this worksheet
This gingerbread man stands with one arm raised in a wave and the other resting at his side. His head and body are drawn as big rounded shapes, with a simple curved smile and two dot eyes already filled in black, so there is no fiddly face work to do. Down the middle of his tummy sit two round buttons, stacked one above the other, and at each wrist and each ankle there is a wavy line of icing trim, four in total, running across his cuffs and boots.
Most of this page is made up of wide, open spaces, the head, the round tummy, the two legs, which a child can fill in with a single crayon colour without worrying about staying inside tight corners. The buttons and the wavy icing lines are the only small bits, and they sit apart from each other, so a child can take those on one at a time rather than all at once. It is a good page for talking through while colouring: how many buttons does he have, where is the icing, which arm is waving.
Because the outlines are thick and the shapes are large and few, this sits on the easy end of the colouring sheets in this set. It suits younger children who are still getting used to a crayon, and it also works as a quick, calm page for an older child who wants something finished fast, perhaps alongside a baking or Christmas theme.
How to use this sheet
Start with the head and body first, since they are the biggest spaces, then move to the two buttons and the four wavy icing lines last. If the wavy lines feel fiddly, let your child use a fine-tip crayon or just colour over them loosely.
