Sloth Paper Squishy Template Hanging on a Branch
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 sloth paper squishy template is a brown sloth that hangs from a thick branch with green leaves and hugs it with both arms, free to print. Its face has a beige mask, dark eye patches and a little smile. The branch is thick, so it's part of the shape.
Quick answer
Print at 100 % and colour the branch and the leaves. Tape both halves, let an adult cut round the leaves and join the halves. Stuff the sloth's body, keep the branch light. It's not a toy for kids under three.

A sloth hugging a branch
Sloths are slow and sleepy. Ours hugs a branch like it never plans to let go.
The fur is brown with a beige face mask and dark patches round the eyes. A thick branch runs across the top with a few green leaves. On the back the sloth and branch return without a face, and the leaves are rounded so that none of them turns into a thin flap that tears.
Leaves take a little patience.

Making the sloth squishy
- Print at 100 % and colour the fur brown, the mask beige and the leaves green.
- Tape both halves and press the tape round the leaves.
- An adult cuts along the grey border round the branch and leaves.
- Tape the halves back to back and leave a gap under the body.
- Stuff the body, a little into the branch, and close the gap.
Keep the leaves flat. Our paper squishy guide covers the method, and the koala is in the template collection.
Slow and sleepy squishies
We don't sell a sloth squishy. The slow rising capybara is just as relaxed, and the fuzzy koala and the capybara trio keep it company.
