Free Printable Gingerbread Man Templates
Last updated: December 10, 2025 by the Homemade Gifts Coloring Team
Nothing says “Christmas” to me quite like the smell of fresh gingerbread. Gingerbread man templates don’t just look cute. They’re also great for getting in the Christmas spirit and maybe even helping you decorate. I’m no architect, so sometimes a gingerbread house is a bit beyond me, but a gingerbread man outline is something I can decorate in my own way. Maybe you and your kids will feel the same! Find out by downloading a bunch of our gingerbread man templates and decorating with your family.
You can turn your gingerbread man outlines into so many fun things, or you can simply color them however you like. There are no rules here. It only matters that these little guys are bringing you and your family some holiday joy. However, if you do want to go the extra mile, we also have craft ideas and tips under the gallery.

How to Use Your Gingerbread Man Templates
If you want to do a little more with your gingerbread man outlines, here are some craft ideas you could share with your family to enjoy some holiday-themed bonding time. Try them with your kids!
Huggable Gingerbread People
Usually, our gingerbread people are for eating, but what about one that’s for hugging? This is much simpler than it might sound. First, choose a gingerbread man printable. Trace it onto felt or some other type of fabric. Cut out two copies of your gingerbread man outline. Sew them together using a simple, basic stitch, but leave one side open. You can add stuffing through that opening, then close up your design. You’ll have a soft and squishy gingerbread person to snuggle.
Templates for Gingerbread Designs
If you are making real gingerbread structures, you can use our gingerbread man outlines as templates for your designs. Just cut them out and place them on your gingerbread to use as an outline. You’ll get the perfect gingerbread man cut out.
Gingerbread Gift Tags
While you’re wrapping presents, pause for a moment and make some special gingerbread man gift tags as well. These will really wow your recipients. And they’re easy to make using our gingerbread man templates! Just cut them out, decorate, and write a note for your giftee. You can also cut them out on something like cardstock so they feel a little sturdier.
Gingerbread Gift Cards
You can also make a proper holiday card using gingerbread man templates. Instead of printing them out and cutting out your outlines, print them on larger paper. Make sure the gingerbread man printable is only taking up a quarter of the page. Then you can fold your paper to make a card with the gingerbread man on the front. Don’t forget to color and decorate for a one-of-a-kind card that will be super special for anyone you’re giving a gift to this holiday season.
