A sleepy little gingerbread man who lives in his own sweet candy bed in a matchbox! Kids cut, fold and glue a tiny box, tuck the gingerbread man in under his sugar-cookie quilt and slide out the bed to wish him good morning.

What's Included

  • 2 printable pages, full color: 1 template page + 1 illustrated how-to page
  • 2 PDFs: A4 and US Letter (same craft, 300 dpi)
  • Pieces: matchbox cover with a name label (gingerbread man hugging a candy cane with a little gingerbread girl and a glowing gingerbread house), pink candy-striped sides, bed tray with pink peppermint wallpaper, iced gingerbread headboard with gumdrops and candy cane posts, candy-cane footboard, flip gingerbread man in a nightcap (sleepy front + awake back), sugar-cookie patchwork blanket pocket, marshmallow pillow, sleepy marshmallow friend, 3 little toys (lollipop, glass of milk, cupcake) and a gift-tag "psst... I baked a cookie just for you" note

How It Works

Finished box: about 5.4 x 7.2 cm, small enough for a stocking. A fun screen-free Christmas activity for ages 5+, December classrooms, Christmas parties, Advent days, cookie baking days, stocking stuffers and little gifts.

  1. Print on 200-250 gsm cardstock at 100 % / Actual size (not "fit to page")
  2. Cut out the pieces and score the dashed lines
  3. Glue the pillow and blanket pocket on the flat tray, then fold up the bed
  4. Fold the cover into a tube and slide the bed in
  5. Tuck the gingerbread man into the blanket pocket, slide a toy into his hands (a grown-up cuts the small hand slit), flip him over for good morning!
