Once you've made one squishy, you usually want more. This sheet puts eight little squishies on a single page, perfect for kids who like to collect, trade or give them away.
✂️ What’s in the Template
The PDF has two pages with eight minis each: one in color, one to color yourself. Every mini is only about 1.5 to 2 inches tall and has its own face. That's enough to fill a whole afternoon.

📝 Step-by-Step Instructions
💡 Tips
- Cut the sheet into strips first, then into single minis. It goes much faster.
- Minis need just a wisp of yarn, otherwise the shell gets too tight.
- Use narrow tape for the minis, it's easier to fit around small edges.
- Keep your finished minis in a small box so the corners stay neat.
🎨 Ideas
Give each of the eight minis its own color scheme so you can tell them apart at a glance.
Color them all in shades of one color, like blue from light to dark.
Invent names and special powers and write them on the back.
🔄 Variations
Punch a hole through the taped edge at the top and add a ring or a ribbon.
Craft minis with friends and swap them at school or at a birthday party.
Put two minis in a little bag as a gift for each guest.
Safety: Stuffing and tape are not for children under 3. Never use real food or scented oils as stuffing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I have to make all eight minis at once?
Not at all. Cut out as many as you like and keep the rest on the sheet for later.
How little filling do minis need?
Just a little yarn or a small bit of cotton. Too much makes tiny shapes hard.
Are the minis okay for small kids?
The filling and tape aren't for kids under 3. From preschool age on, it works well with a grown-up's help.
