Mushroom Paper Squishy Template, Red Toadstool
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.
Our mushroom paper squishy template is a red toadstool with white spots on the cap and a cream stem, free to print. The face with pink cheeks sits on the stem. It's a fairytale shape for the kawaii set.
Quick answer
Print at 100 % and colour the cap red. Tape over both toadstools, cut them out and lay them back to back. Stuff the cap more than the stem. An adult cuts, and paper mushrooms aren't for kids under three.

A spotty red toadstool
Toadstools are pure fairytale. Ours is the cute kind with a face on the stem.
The cap is round and red with white spots. The stem below is cream and a bit narrower. Where the stem meets the cap there's a small step, and that's the only place the scissors have to slow down while you cut out the shape.
A friendly, easy outline.

Making the mushroom squishy
- Print at 100 % and colour the cap red and the stem cream.
- Leave the spots white.
- Tape both mushrooms and cut along the outer grey line.
- Tape the halves back to back and leave the bottom of the stem open.
- Stuff the cap first, then the stem, and close it.
A puffy cap makes it look like a real toadstool. Our paper squishy guide explains every step, and the snail and the fox are in the template collection.
