About This Squishy Dumpling Happy Tears Coloring Page
This page captures the dumpling mid laugh-cry, with closed happy eyes, streaming tears, and a big open smile. It’s a fun, slightly more detailed expression to color, since the tear drops add an extra little shape to fill in.
It’s a nice pairing with the Laughing dumpling, since both show big, overwhelmed joy.
What Is a Squishy Dumpling?
A squishy dumpling is a soft, squeezable toy shaped like a plump little dumpling, usually with a simple smiling face. It belongs to the same general family as other squishy toys – soft, slow-rebounding shapes designed to be squeezed, pressed, and stretched. The dumpling shape has become a favorite because it’s round, food-themed, and easy to make expressive with just a face and a few pleat lines.
This coloring page isn’t tied to any single toy brand – it’s our own original take on the trend, drawn simply so it’s easy and fun to color.
