Cherry Paper Squishy Template, Two Cherries
For readers in the USA: here we sell our squishies as stress balls and collectibles for ages 14 and up. They are not toys for children. Any age tips in this guide apply to our shops outside the USA.
The cherry paper squishy template is a pair of shiny red cherries joined by green stems with a leaf between them, free to print. Each cherry has its own little face. Two faces on one squishy make it a nice one for best friends.
Quick answer
Print the page at 100 % and colour the cherries red. Tape both halves, then let an adult cut round the stems. Join the halves and stuff both cherries. Keep it away from children under three.

Two cherries on one stem
Real cherry stems are thin. Ours are thick, because a thin stem would rip as soon as you tape it.
The two cherries hang side by side. Each is a shiny red circle with a white highlight and a tiny face. The stems meet at the top under a green leaf, and the back shows the cherries without faces.
The gap between the stems is the one spot that needs the scissor tip, so an adult should take over there while the kids get on with colouring the second cherry.

How to make the cherry squishy
- Print at 100 % and colour the cherries red. Leave a white shine spot on each.
- Colour the stems and the leaf green.
- Tape both halves and press the tape into the gap between the stems.
- An adult cuts round the grey border and between the stems.
- Tape the halves together, stuff each cherry separately with a pencil and close them.
Leave the stems unstuffed. Then the cherries swing a little when you hold them by the leaf. More help is in our paper squishy guide, and the strawberry is in the template collection.
