Pumpkin Paper Squishy Template, Cute Not Scary
Our pumpkin paper squishy template is an orange pumpkin with rounded segments, a brown stem and a green leaf, free to print. The face is cute, not scary, with pink cheeks. It works for Halloween and for the whole autumn.
Quick answer
Print at 100 % and colour the pumpkin orange. Tape over both pumpkins, cut them out and set them back to back. Fill it until it's nicely round. An adult cuts the stem and leaf, and it's not for children under three.

A cute orange pumpkin
Pumpkins mean autumn. Ours smiles instead of scaring anyone.
Rounded segments bulge out at the sides. The stem is short and brown, with a green leaf next to it. The back shows the segments without a face, so you could even draw a spooky jack-o'-lantern face there for the Halloween side and keep the cute one at the front.
Bumpy sides cut easily.
