The blob doesn't care about rules and sticks its tongue out at everyone. That's exactly why it's the favorite of every little rascal and a great buddy when you feel like being silly.
โ๏ธ Whatโs in the Template
The PDF shows the blob in purple with crooked eyes and a long pink tongue, in color front and back. You also get a coloring version and mini blobs on page 3. It's about 5 inches wide and looks wobbly from every angle.

๐ก Tips
- The tongue is the narrowest part, so cut it slowly and calmly.
- Tape the tongue down extra well, since it gets pressed a lot.
- If you leave the tongue unstuffed, it stays flat and can wiggle.
- Add white gel pen highlights to the eyes for extra sparkle.
๐จ Color Ideas
Purple with a pink tongue is the classic blob look.
Teal with yellow dots looks like a sea creature playing a prank.
Color the tongue in rainbow stripes so it really stands out.
๐ Variations
Pull faces against the blob and see who has the cheekiest tongue.
Make a few blobs in different colors and give each one a name.
Gently toss the blob at the target and let it grin cheekily along the way.
Safety: Stuffing and tape are not for children under 3. Never use real food or scented oils as stuffing.
