Eraser Paper Squishy Template

Pink eraser with a blue paper sleeve and a cheerful face as a paper squishy template

This eraser doesn't have to rub out anything, it just gets to be soft. It fits in any pencil case and makes a great buddy for school kids.

✂️ What’s in the Template

The PDF has a rectangular eraser with a paper sleeve, a face and a few smudges, about 4.5 inches (11 cm) long. The back shows the striped sleeve, with no real brand name. You also get a coloring page and mini erasers, sized for 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 edges are straight, so use a ruler to keep the corners crisp.
  • Yarn fills the corners nicely, so they don't go floppy.
  • Don't overstuff. A real eraser is firm but not hard.
  • A strip of cotton down the middle helps keep the shape longer.

🎨 Color Ideas

🔄 Variations
