Sometimes the grumpiness has to come out, but gently, please. The squishy target is the game for all your grumpy squishies: toss them at the board, rack up points and laugh the bad mood away.
✂️ What’s in the Template
The PDF has two pages: a target with point zones to tape to the wall plus a score sheet, and rules with let-it-out cards that have silly challenges. Everything can be colored, and the target is about 10 inches (25 cm) across. Print on US Letter.

📝 Step-by-Step Instructions
💡 Tips
- Only toss paper squishies, never hard objects.
- Hang the target low so even little kids can hit it.
- If you miss, laugh and keep going, because it's all about fun.
- The game doesn't replace help with real worries, so talk afterwards.
🎨 Ideas
Red, white and black rings like a real dartboard.
Give each ring a different color and make the center bright yellow.
Draw a face and teeth on the board, so you're aiming at a cheeky monster.
🔄 Variations
Two teams collect points together, and the first to 50 wins.
Throw from different distances and make it harder each round.
Use the sassy stress squishies with the angry faces.
Safety: Stuffing and tape are not for children under 3. Never use real food or scented oils as stuffing.
