Roaring Monster Paper Squishy Template

Orange monster with two horns, a wide-open mouth full of teeth and angry eyes

Sometimes you just need to be loud, and the roaring monster is happy to do it for you. It's for kids who need to let off some steam and looks wild without being scary.

✂️ What’s in the Template

The PDF shows the monster in orange with two horns, a huge mouth and teeth, in color front and back. You also get a coloring version and mini monsters on page 3. It's about 5 inches tall and has more mouth than body.

🧺 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!

😤 Stress-relief tip: Squeeze, squish, toss gently – for example at the squishy target. More ideas in the guide Squishies for Stress Relief.

💡 Tips

  • The horns are pointy, so cut slowly and leave enough white border.
  • Fill the mouth a little less so it stays open and thin.
  • Reinforce the horn tips with a second layer of tape.
  • Squeeze the monster in the middle and the mouth roars even wider.

🎨 Color Ideas

Orange and red make the monster hot-headed and loud.

🔄 Variations

Safety: Stuffing and tape are not for children under 3. Never use real food or scented oils as stuffing.
