Story

Little Timmy loves December because it's gingerbread house season! He carefully pipes icing onto the roof, dreaming of the snow that will soon blanket his own home just like the candy coating on his sweet creation.

Creative Guide

Suggested Palette

Gingerbread Brown

Use this warm brown for the gingerbread house walls and gingerbread man.

Icing White

Candy Cane Red

Perfect for the stripes on the candy canes, adding a festive touch.

Santa's Hat Crimson

Use this vibrant red for Timmy's Santa hat.

Marshmallow Beige

Color the marshmallows with this light beige shade.

Coloring Tips

  • Use lighter shades of brown for the gingerbread man's edges to create a soft, baked effect.
  • Add glitter or shimmer to the icing on the gingerbread house to make it sparkle like freshly fallen snow.
  • Create depth on the candy canes by using a darker red on one side to simulate shading.
  • Mix different shades of white to give the icing dimension and make it pop against the gingerbread coloring.
