Reindeer Paper Squishy Template with a Red Nose
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 reindeer paper squishy template is a brown reindeer head with chunky cream antlers, side ears, a pale muzzle and a shiny red nose, free to print. Pink cheeks sit next to the nose. The antlers are thick and rounded, so they survive the scissors.
Quick answer
Get the sheet printed at 100 % and colour the nose bright red. Tape both heads, then an adult cuts round the antlers. Join the halves and stuff the head, with only a pinch in each antler. Paper reindeer are not for children under three.

A reindeer with a shiny nose
Every Christmas set needs a reindeer. Ours has the red nose everyone expects.
The head is warm brown with a pale muzzle. Two cream antlers branch out on top, each with rounded tips instead of points. The ears stick out at the sides, and on the back the antlers return on a plain brown head, so the reindeer looks finished from both sides when it sits in a window.
Antlers are the slow part.

Making the reindeer squishy
- Print at 100 % and colour the head brown, the antlers cream and the nose red.
- Tape both heads and press the tape into the gaps between the antlers.
- An adult cuts along the grey border, slowly round each antler tip.
- Tape the halves together with short strips at the antlers.
- Stuff the head through the chin, a pinch into each antler, and close it.
Antlers that bend got too much stuffing. Keep them light. Our paper squishy guide explains each step, and the Santa hat and the stocking are in the template collection.
