Pancake Stack Paper Squishy Template

Paper squishy pancake stack with syrup, a butter pat on top and a friendly face

A pancake stack is a feast for the eyes: syrup drips down and butter melts on top. As a squishy it is tall, soft and truly cuddly.

✂️ What’s in the Template

The PDF holds a pancake stack about 4.5 inches tall with syrup, butter and a face on the top pancake and a side view on the back. There is also a coloring page and mini stacks.

🧺 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

  • Press the layers lightly while stuffing.
  • Make the syrup shine with a gel pen.
  • Color the butter pat in light yellow.
  • Cotton keeps the stack nice and tall.
