Bunny Paper Squishy Template

Colorful bunny paper squishy with long pink ears, chubby cheeks, tiny teeth and a pink nose

Long ears, chubby cheeks and a nose that never stops wiggling: the bunny is a spring and Easter favorite, but it fits in a kid's room all year round.

✂️ What’s in the Template

The PDF has the bunny in full color with front and back (the back shows a fluffy cotton tail), a coloring page and mini bunnies on page 3. Ears included, the finished squishy stands about 5 inches tall on US Letter.

🧺 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

  • The long ears are the weak spot, so keep a wide border when cutting.
  • Only put a tiny pinch of filling in each ear or they will flop.
  • Color the teeth and muzzle before taping so nothing smears.
  • A little cotton ball sticker makes the tail on the back extra fun.

🎨 Color Ideas
