How to Draw a Gingerbread Man - Free Directed Drawing Art Lesson
Let's create a festive gingerbread man! Grab your paper and drawing materials, and follow these steps:
1. Head - Draw a large oval or circle for the head. Make sure it's centered at the top of your paper.
2. Body - Just below the head, draw a slightly elongated oval or rectangle for the body. It should be about twice the height of the head.
3. Arms - From the top sides of the body, draw two curved lines extending outward and s lightly upward to form the arms. They should be about the same length as the body. You can erase the top of the oval inside the body.
4. Legs - From the bottom of the body, draw two slightly curved lines extending downward for the legs. They should be a little longer than the arms.
5. Face - Add two small circles for the eyes and a larger circle or oval for the mouth. You can add a small dot in each eye for the pupils. Draw a curved line or small oval for the nose.
6. Buttons - Draw three small circles down the center of the body for buttons. You can make them different colors to add some fun detail. Also, erase the bottom curve of the circle head.
7. Details - Add wavy lines around the edges of the arms, legs, and head to represent the icing.
- You can add more decorations like a bow tie, stripes, or patterns on the gingerbread man's body.
8. Coloring - Color the gingerbread man brown to represent the cookie.
- Use bright colors for the icing, buttons, and other decorations.
And there you have it—a delightful gingerbread man ready for the holidays! 🎄🍪
Enjoy your drawing, and feel free to add any additional details to make it even more festive!

Who doesn't like free stuff? Especially when you are in a pinch. A lot of the time when you need a sub, that is exactly what you are in. A pinch for time.
I found some free doodle sheets that you can download immediately. The blog, "Artful Kids" has a set of 6, ready for you to grab right now. Here's one.
They'd be great to keep in your sub tub or your files for early finishers.
If you'd like an art sub lesson that you can also download immediately and email right to your school office, here's a new one I made. "Doodle Monsters in Spring."
For $4 you get all of the directions; the script; photos; examples; rubric; and ways to end the lesson right there. Subs love these lessons and kids do too. Go here to check out this lesson and others at my TeachersPayTeachers shop: Art Sub Lessons.
