Lemon Paper Squishy Template with a Green Leaf
The lemon paper squishy template is a bright yellow lemon with rounded tips and a small green leaf, free to print. The face sits in the middle. An oval like this is one of the easiest shapes to cut.
Quick answer
Print at 100 % and colour the lemon yellow. Tape both halves and trim them on the grey line. Join them, fill the lemon and close it. Under-threes shouldn't play with it, and an adult does the cutting.

A yellow lemon with a leaf
Lemons are sunny and simple. The outline is an oval with two soft tips and one leaf on top.
Tiny dots on the back look like lemon skin. The front stays smooth for the face. A bright yellow felt tip makes the colour pop, but give it a few minutes to dry before the tape goes on, otherwise it smudges.
Leaf aside, nothing sticks out. Quick to cut.
