Advent Calendar House with 24 Doors
An advent calendar house with 24 small doors and a gingerbread man peeking out of the first open door.
A tall, peaked house is covered from top to bottom with tiny doors. A round window sits high in the gable, a chimney rises on the right, and striped candy canes lean against both sides of the building.
What can you see?
The very first door, marked with a number one, already stands open, revealing a cheerful gingerbread man peeking out. Below it, four rows hold the remaining doors, each with its own round handle, adding up to 24 in total. On the ground floor sit two paned windows and a curved front door decorated with a heart, framed by two round bushes.
Coloring ideas
- Give each little door its own color for a lively calendar look
- Paint the candy canes in classic red and white stripes
- Shade the bushes in different greens
With 24 separate panels, this coloring page suits children from about age 7 who enjoy careful, detailed work. The tiny doors call for a steady hand, while the roof and bushes offer larger, easier areas to fill in.
What surprise would you hide behind door number twelve?
As a countdown craft, kids can number each door and revisit the picture daily throughout December. Classrooms or kindergartens can also display the finished house as a shared advent wall picture.
