Hamster Paper Squishy Template with a Seed
Our hamster paper squishy template is a round orange and white hamster with small round ears and puffy cheeks. It holds a striped sunflower seed in its tiny paws, and it's free to print. The back is plain orange. Round as a dumpling, it's easy to cut.
Quick answer
Print at 100 % and colour the orange patches. Tape both halves, cut along the grey edge and join them. Stuff it fat, like a hamster with full cheeks. An adult cuts, and it isn't for kids under three.

A round hamster with a seed
Hamsters are round and that makes them great squishies. Ours holds a sunflower seed against its tummy.

Orange fur covers the top of the head and the back. The face and tummy are white with puffy cheeks. The seed is striped grey and white, and it sits inside the outline, so there's nothing small sticking out that could tear when you squeeze the hamster.
Two tiny round ears. Easy.

How to make the hamster
- Print at 100 % and colour the fur orange. Leave the face and tummy white.
- Tape both halves and cut along the outer line of the grey border.
- Tape them back to back, leave a gap and stuff the hamster round.
- Close the gap and give it a squeeze.
Hamsters should look chubby. Add stuffing until it's round but still soft. The paper squishy guide explains each step, and the bear is in the template collection.
