## How to make it

1. **Print the template.** Print the PDF on A4 paper at 100% scale (choose "actual size", not "fit to page"). Thicker paper works best.
2. **Cut it out.** Cut out every piece. Where a piece has a grey rim of glue tabs, cut along the outer edge of the rim. Ask a grown-up to help younger children with the scissors.
3. **Fold the tabs.** Fold along the dashed lines so the grey glue tabs stand up.
4. **Glue it together.** Put glue on the grey tabs and stick the pieces together, one side at a time. Leave one side open.
5. **Stuff and close.** Fill it with cotton wool until it is soft and squeezy, then glue the last side closed.

## What you need

- A4 paper (thicker works best)

- Glue or tape
- Scissors and a printer

## Ideas to make it your own

- Use the Milk tea colour for the classic brown.
- Add a Snowflake or Star sticker.
- Try the Shy face for rosy cheeks in the cold.

## Questions

### Is the reindeer squishy template free?

Yes. The PDF is free to download and print, and the online maker needs no sign-up, no account and no payment.

### What size is it and how do I print it?

Print on A4 paper at 100% scale ("actual size"). The finished squishy is about 6 cm wide. Thicker paper gives a sturdier squishy.

### Can I change the colours and face of the reindeer?

Yes. Open the reindeer in the Makesquishy maker to change colour, pattern, face, stickers and name, then print your own version.

### Do the antlers need gluing on?

No. The antlers are part of the reindeer-shaped template, so you cut, fold and glue it like the other squishies.

### What do I need to make it?

A printer, A4 paper, scissors, glue or tape and cotton wool for stuffing. Coloured pencils are optional if you want to add your own details.
