For his frosting details, classic white is always a good choice, but don't be afraid to experiment with vibrant blues, cheerful yellows, or rosy pinks! You could even add some pretend sprinkles with tiny dots of various colors. Remember to give him some rosy red cheeks to show off his big smile. Feel free to use crayons, colored pencils, or even washable markers for different textures and effects. There's no wrong way to make your gingerbread man unique!
