Squishmallow Coloring Pages

Free Squishmallow coloring pages: 18 printable PDF designs of the round, ultra-soft plush toy characters, from solo portraits to group scenes. Every page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser.

Squishmallows were created by Kellytoy, officially Kelly Toys Holdings LLC, a Los Angeles plush toy company founded in 1986 by Jonathan Kelly. The line launched in 2017 with just eight original characters sold exclusively at Walgreens, an idea Kelly developed after a trip to Japan left him inspired by the country’s kawaii toy culture. The very first character released was Cam the Cat. In April 2020, Jazwares, a Berkshire Hathaway company, acquired Kellytoy, and the brand has since grown to more than 3,000 designs and over 800 individually named characters, each with a short backstory printed on its tag.

This collection reflects that variety: solo character portraits, food and object-themed designs, group and activity scenes, and a couple of seasonal and licensed crossover pages.

What Is Inside This Collection

The 18 pages are divided into four groups: solo character portraits, food and object-themed designs, group and activity scenes, and seasonal and crossover designs.

Solo Character Portraits

The largest group shows individual Squishmallow characters on their own, including a unicorn, a mouse, a penguin, and a couple of named characters. These pages give a colorist the clearest view of a single character’s rounded shape and simple facial features, which are the core of the Squishmallow design, and work well as an introduction for a fan coloring the collection for the first time.

Food and Object-Themed Designs

A small group covers Squishmallows shaped like food and paired with real food items, including a general food-themed page, a fish design, and a Squishmallow shown with a strawberry. These pages reflect the brand’s wide range of non-animal designs alongside its more traditional animal characters. This variety has helped keep the collecting side of the brand feeling fresh.

Group and Activity Scenes

Several pages show multiple Squishmallows together, playing, gathered in a house setting, or paired with other cute animal designs. These pages suit a colorist who wants a busier scene rather than a single character portrait, and they capture the collecting and displaying culture that has grown up around the brand, where fans often photograph or arrange several characters together.

Seasonal and Crossover Designs

The remaining pages include a winter scene, a Halloween-themed Squishmallow, and a Hello Kitty Squishmallow. The Hello Kitty design reflects a real, officially licensed partnership between Squishmallow and Sanrio, though this particular coloring page remains a fan-made design rather than an official product.

What Squishmallow Coloring Pages Do

Fine motor development. The American Academy of Pediatrics lists structured coloring among the activities that build fine motor control in children ages 2 through 7, and a Squishmallow’s simple, rounded shape makes it an approachable subject for a young colorist still learning to stay within the lines.

Character and backstory practice. Because real Squishmallows each come with a name and a short printed backstory, coloring a page is a natural opening for a child to invent their own name and story for the character, extending the collecting hobby into a creative writing activity.

Anxiety reduction through focus. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal found that structured coloring sessions produced measurably lower anxiety than unstructured drawing, and a Squishmallow’s soft, simple outline suits a calm, low-pressure coloring session well.

Collection organization practice. For a child who already collects Squishmallows, sorting coloring pages by animal type, food-themed, or seasonal design mirrors the same categorization many young collectors already apply to their physical plush collection.

How to Color Squishmallow Coloring Pages Well

• Base body color: pick one soft, solid color per character, Pastel Pink, Sky Blue, Lavender, and keep it consistent across the whole rounded body to match the simple, single-tone look of most real Squishmallows.
• Face details: Use a darker shade of the same color family for any shading around the eyes, rather than switching to a completely different color, since Squishmallow faces are designed to stay simple and soft.
• Food-themed designs: lean into bright, recognizable food colors, Strawberry Red, Banana Yellow, so the food shape reads clearly even in a simplified, rounded plush form.
• Seasonal pages: layer in Pumpkin Orange and Black for the Halloween design or Icy Blue and White for the winter scene, without changing the character’s base body color underneath.
• Group scenes: vary the color of each Squishmallow in a group page so every character stands out individually, rather than repeating the same one or two colors across the whole scene.

Creative Craft Ideas With Squishmallow Coloring Pages

1. Character Name Tag. Color a solo Squishmallow page, then write an original name and a short one-sentence backstory underneath, mirroring the tags that come with real Squishmallow plush toys.

2. Squishmallow Standee. Color a solo character page, glue it to cardboard or a cereal box, and cut around the outline to make a standing figure for a shelf or desk.

3. Collection Poster. Color several different Squishmallow pages, arrange them together on a poster, and label each with its color or animal type to mimic a collector’s display.

4. Squishmallow Bookmark. Color a small character page, trim it into a narrow strip, and laminate it or cover it with clear tape for a durable bookmark.

5. Birthday Card. Color one of the character pages, fold a piece of cardstock in half, and glue the design to the front for a birthday card for a young Squishmallow collector.
