Gingerbread Man Color by Number with 3 Colors

Two tiny slivers of cookie peek out between the head and the bow tie of this gingerbread man color by number. They are too small to hold a number, and a note under the key says tiny spots take the same color as around them, so they are brown like the head. Everything else is easy to read: twelve parts, numbered 1 to 3, on a classic gingerbread man with a round smiling head, a bow tie, three buttons and wavy icing on the arms and legs.

Brown cookie, red and green trim

Brown, number 1, covers the whole cookie: the head, the body, both arms and both legs. Red, number 2, fills the two wings of the bow tie and the middle button, and green, number 3, goes on the round knot of the bow and the top and bottom buttons, so the buttons run green, red, green. The eyes come printed solid black. The icing is drawn as wavy lines, and coloring around them rather than over them keeps them visible.

One easy sheet

With three colors, the page sits at the easy level for ages 3 to 5, and the key at the bottom names each color beside its numbered swatch. Those two slivers are the smallest spaces on the sheet, so keep the A4 or US Letter PDF at actual size when it prints. Children can compare their cookie with the colored answer key on page two.
