Download the gingerbread man template and print it out. If your child is using the color in version, let them paint or color it. Let it dry before moving on. Cut out all the pieces.
Create the gingerbread man by gluing the eyes to the middle of the head, just above the mouth.
Take the icing hair and glue it to the top of the gingerbread man's head. Trim off any paper that hangs off the side.
Next, glue the overalls to the body of the gingerbread man.
Position the buttons just below the straps on the overalls and glue them down.
Place the bow on the side of the gingerbread man's hair and glue it in place or make it a bowtie and glue it on the neck.
Finish off the gingerbread man by gluing the icing decorations near the end of the arms and legs.
