Use this free printable gingerbread house doodle to create holiday fun with kids and adults.
Coloring is a great activity for kids and adults for so many reasons. While it develops and strengthens fine motor skills, it also causes the brain to create relaxation and calmness in the body. Whether you choose to use crayons, colored pencils or markers – be sure to add coloring into your holiday mix of fun.
Make a Card from a Coloring Printable
If you want to create a darling handmade card with this printable, print it 4 to a page in your printer settings and it will print 1/4 the size. Color it then cut it out.
Mount it on a piece of colored card stock with paper crafting tape then adhere that to a folder piece of 8 1/2 by 11 card stock. This will fit in an A9 Envelope.

Best Ways to Use Free Printables
You might have seen this list from me before but I think it is worth sharing over and over. Sometimes the people in the back need to hear things a few times, right? There are so many great ways to use free printables. Here are some of my favorites.
- Print them and mail in an envelope with a stamp. Snail mail rocks.
- Batch some up to make an activity book. This is great for a road trip!
- Print and use at a place setting on the table to create a conversation starter.
- Add them to goody bags. By the way, goody bags are not just for birthday parties.
- Package them up with your favorite markers and crayons to give as a gift.
- Drop a few off at the local coffee shop with fun pencils to spread some happy.
- Cut them up to make cards, gift wrap and decorations.
BEST Tools For Working With Free Printables
These are my favorite tools and art supplies to use with free printables and why I love them too.
- Printer – This Laser Printer is inexpensive and works like a charm. It even works with Alexa. Bonus!
- Scissors – Lots of printables can be cut up to create decorations and cards and things like that.
- Markers and Crayons – All thing ooly work the best for me. I LOVE all of their markers, pencils and crayons.
- Colored Pencils – For adult coloring, PRISM makes the colored pencils that I love to use most.
- Twine – For creating banners and garlands from printables, I love this twine best.
- Adhesive – Lots of printables have pieces that get cut out and put together. This is my fave tape runner!
