Free Printable Lucky Charm Paper Squishies
The lucky pig squishy is round, pink, and made for squeezing. The four-leaf clover squishy and the ladybug squishy complete the lucky trio. Each full-color PDF includes a front, a back, and mini squishies, and the coloring version is set up the same way.
Here's how to make one: print, cut out, and leave the white border as a gluing edge. Cover both sides with wide tape, tape them together all the way around, and leave about 3 cm (just over an inch) open at the bottom. Stuff the squishy through the opening and tape it shut.
As a good-luck gift, these squishies are a real hit: the pig for plenty, the four-leaf clover because it's so rare, and the ladybug as a tiny lucky messenger. Crafting them helps kids practice cutting, taping, and patience. Because stuffing and small parts can be a choking hazard, squishies aren't for kids under 3.
💡 Tips: New Year Paper Squishies
Regular printer paper is ideal because it squishes nicely. Print the front and back on one sheet and cut them out together so they line up perfectly, on A4 or US Letter.
You'll need scissors, wide clear packing tape, and stuffing like cotton balls, paper scraps, or a piece of foam. Color with colored pencils, since markers can smear under the tape.
Let kids color first, then have an adult cover the pieces with tape. Stuffing is the best part, and at the end you seal the opening together.
A squishy lasts a long time if the edges are taped well. The mini squishies make cute backpack or gift tags and a little good-luck charm for the New Year's Eve table.
