FREE Build A Gingerbread Man Printable Craft

This hands-on holiday craftivity is perfect for centers, small-group work, or a fun seasonal art project! Students can design their own gingerbread character by choosing eyes, mouths, and building the body with cut-and-paste parts.

How it works:

1. Color & Cut – Students color the gingerbread man parts and cut them out OR
   Copy or trace the templates onto construction paper for a more durable (and adorable!) classroom display.
2. Build & Glue – Attach the head, arms, and legs to create a custom gingerbread friend.
3. Choose Features – Kids pick from a variety of eyes and mouths to give their gingerbread person its own personality.
