Fried Egg Paper Squishy Template

Paper squishy fried egg with a white egg white, yellow yolk and a cheerful face

✂️ What’s in the Template

The PDF shows a fried egg about 5 inches wide with a yellow yolk as the face, wavy egg white and a white back. There is also a coloring page and mini eggs.

🧺 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

  • Don't straighten the waves when cutting, they give it charm.
  • Raise the yolk with a bit of extra cotton.
  • A white highlight dot makes the yolk look alive.
  • Keep the face nice and big.
