## 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

- Pick the Milk tea colour for a classic teddy.
- Add a Heart sticker on the tummy.
- Try the Shy face for a bashful bear.

## Questions

### Is the Valentine teddy bear 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 Valentine teddy bear?

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

### Do the teddy ears need gluing on?

No. The ears are part of the bear-shaped template, so there are no extra pieces to attach.

### 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.
