My kids and I have really been enjoying making Pokemon DIYs recently and we rather love our DIY Paper Toys too. Bring the two together and you get these fantastic never ending Pokemon Evolution DIY kaleidoscope or kaleidocycles – basically, watch your favourite characters, Bulbasaur, Eevee, Charmander and Squirtle, as they evolve…..
This Pokemon Paper Toy was first published in September 2016

Whilst I have your Attention
All crafts supplied on this website are free for you to follow and read. Occassionally, I charge for the odd template, but the templates are not necessary for crafting! During this super uncertain time of Covid, if would like to show me additional support, there are number of ways you can really help me (and help continue with this free resource website!!):
- Follow me on YouTube (I am soooo keen to hit that 1mill subs milestone!)
- Sign up to my FREE weekly newsletter
- For Preschoolers – follow my FREE FB Group or join this newsletter
- Or if you wish, you can buy me a coffee!
Any, or all of the above are super helpful!!
THANK YOU!
Pokemon Evolution Cards
We also have some AMAZING Pokemon Evolution cards – 6 different Pokemon Characters to choose from, one cuter than the next. And if you think the transformation in the kaleidoscopes is amazing, you will adore these Pokemon Cards too!
Pokemon Evolution DIY – Materials
- a printer
- paper
- scissors
- glue stick
- pens if you are colouring!
Grab your Pokemon of choice – remember you can get it “ready coloured” or to colour it in yourself (I highly recommend the Pokemon coloring pages, much more fun and satisfying!). These are all free! Just make sure you save this post and share it with all your Pokemon loving friends!!!
—-> For Eevee and Squirtle head over to the lovely Hattifant! <—-
Pokemon Evolution DIY – How To
This is how to assemble your Kaleidocycle. Remember, the most important thing, is to make good creases and to wait for your glue to dry! And don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel (all free!).
What do you think? Aren’t they simply fabulous? I love both the Pokemon Coloring Pages version, and the “ready made” version if you have a little less time. Enjoy!!
Check out our WINTER Kaleidocycle set – you will find some adorable designs for both Christmas, Autumn and Winter in general!

Thank you, my kids are going to love these! Just like Pokemon, they are going to want to catch them all! I have a feeling I will be trying to figure out how to make a Pikachu and Oshawatt one, to name a few of the many they will probably ask for lol!

Red Ted Art says
Did the video not help?
aishwarya says
i don’t like this video it was not helpful at all it was so hard for me to fold the shape
Red Ted Art says
So sorry to hear that! I find that when you are new to this project you have to give it a few goes. Pause the video, take your time and work as neatly as possible! Do try again and good luck!
Mini says

Saida says
The hattifant website is not working for me regardless of which device I get on… Would you be able to e-mail the squirtle and eevee pdf to me?

The link to the eevee and squirtle ones didn’t work they are my fave Pokémon as well
Red Ted Art says
They work! You need to submit your name to gumroad so they can email it to you. It costs $0 – ie it is free, but you do have to use that site in order to get them
Red Ted Art says
They do work, you have to enter you email in order for their site to send it to you. They ARE free. Promise.
Lucas says

christie says
Hello, nice to meet you! I’m from Korea.
Besides, I want to make this paper toys for my sister, but I guess there is an error.
When I try to click the link, it didn’t work at all.
What’s wrong with it? Is it only me?
p.s I’m sorry that I’m not very good at english 🙁
Please kindly understand it!
Red Ted Art says
I am not sure what the problem is, they all work for me 🙁 you have 2 designs here on red ted art and then 2 over on Hattifant’s site (it leads to a hosting site called Gumroad)
HEATHER L RICARTE says
I am interested in printing these at Staples. Do you know if these are copyrighted? Even for personal use, I have to have permission to print them at Staples because they are a business. Thanks for advice on this issue.
Red Ted Art says
Good question. From my point of view, you are welcome to go ahead and print!
se jin says
DOWNLOAD Eevee & Squirtle- The site is in error. I want to get an eveee.
Red Ted Art says
It should lead you to a site called Gumroad which Hattifants uses to host the printables. There you need to add $0 at checkout. Email Hattifant if you are having problems!
sharon peacock says
hi
how do you print these out so they are not distorted?
when we colour them and try to make them up the triangles are not equalateral so they don’t fit.
Red Ted Art says
Hello, I am not sure why they are coming out distorted. On my printer there is an option to “fit to page”.. maybe that would help?!
