Draw a simple curved smile under the nose to make a friendly expression.
Step 7
Add two short rounded arms on each side of the body using small curved shapes.

Help!?
What can we use if we don't have a black marker or pen for tracing?
If you don't have a black marker or pen for tracing, use a dark-colored pencil, crayon, or a thin permanent marker to trace over your final pencil lines on the paper.
My oval or ears look lopsided—how can I fix them?
If your big rounded oval or small rounded ears look uneven, lighten your initial pencil sketch and use the eraser to reshape the curves before you trace with the black marker.
How can I change this activity for younger or older kids?
For younger children, pre-draw the big rounded oval and let them add simple arms, feet, and stickers, while older kids can add detailed patterns, shading with light and dark shades, and sharper outlines.
How can we extend or personalize the Squishmallow drawing?
Extend the activity by designing matching patterns or accessories from step 9, experimenting with light and dark shades to show roundness, and sharing a photo of the finished Squishmallow on DIY.org.
