Butter Stick Paper Squishy Template

Yellow paper squishy butter stick with a half-open wrapper and a friendly face

A stick of butter is boxy, creamy and a little cheeky, especially with a face. That makes it a fun motif for the breakfast series.

✂️ What’s in the Template

The template shows a butter stick about 4.5 inches long with a half-open wrapper, a face and a labeled back. There is also a coloring page and mini cubes.

🧺 What You Need
  • Printer and regular printer paper (US Letter or A4)
  • Scissors
  • Wide clear packing tape (or laminating sheets)
  • Stuffing: cotton balls, yarn or paper scraps
  • Crayons or markers for the coloring version

📝 Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Print at 100% (turn off “fit to page”). Color the B/W version first.
2
Cut out the front and back along the outer line – the white border is the tape edge.
3
Cover both pieces with wide clear tape, overlapping the strips slightly, and smooth them out.
4
Place the front and back together exactly (colored sides out).
5
Tape all around the edge, leaving about 1 inch open where it says “leave open here”.
6
Stuff with cotton, yarn or paper scraps – not too full – and tape the opening shut. Done!

💡 Tips

  • Use a ruler for the straight edges when cutting.
  • Cotton filling holds the rectangular shape.
  • Draw the face slightly tilted, it looks funny.
  • Hint at the wrapper with light gray.
