A few things before you squish.
Paper sizes, supplies, and the little details that help.
Are the templates really free?
Yes. The templates are free for personal, family, and classroom use. No account or email is needed. Please do not resell the files or present the designs as your own.
Should I choose US Letter or A4?
Choose the size that matches the paper in your printer. US Letter is 8.5 × 11 inches; A4 is 210 × 297 mm. Always print at Actual Size or 100%.
What is Color Your Own?
It is the same design as a black-and-white outline. Print it, add your own colors and patterns, and then cut and assemble it.
What can I use for filling?
Small, loosely crumpled pieces of tissue or a little soft stuffing work well. Start with less than you think you need. Overfilling can split the paper seams.
Can children make these?
Choose a design and help level that suit the child. An adult should decide when to assist with scissors, folding, glue, and small pieces. Paper squishies are craft projects and are not intended for chewing.
