Pokemon Evolution DIY Kaleidoscope Paper Toy

March 27, 2020

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…..

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!!):

  1. Follow me on YouTube (I am soooo keen to hit that 1mill subs milestone!)
  2. Sign up to my FREE weekly newsletter
  3. For Preschoolers – follow my FREE FB Group or join this newsletter
  4. Or if you wish, you can buy me a coffee!

Any, or all of the above are super helpful!!

THANK YOU!

Download 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!). All printables are 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!!

    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!

          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!

    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.

      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!

    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

      November 14, 2018 at 9:38 am

      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?!

    […] I can’t tell you how much my kids love paper-craft. A printer, some card and a little bit of tape add up to hours of fun. If you don’t have a colour printer, it just means they have to colour in first. I have a Pinterest board filled with great (Pokemon) printables that are quite easy to make. They are neater if you use glue, but much easier if you use tape. My seven year old can do them independently and we have been having a lot of fun with the evolution kaleidoscope. […]

    […] Som vissa av er förĂ€ldrar har mĂ€rkt sĂ„ har vi skapat ett kalejdoskop dĂ€r en pokemon förvandlas nĂ€r man vrider pĂ„ ett papper som Ă€r vikt. Förra fredagen lottades en sĂ„dan ut och det var mĂ„nga som ville ha en egen och det skapade en vĂ€ldigt lust hos dem att göra egna. De Ă€r ganska pillriga att göra men mĂ„nga har varit vĂ€ldigt tĂ„lmodiga och framförallt mĂ„lmedvetna. Om man vill göra en sĂ„dan hemma sĂ„ kan man hitta instruktion samt den mall man pĂ„ följande lĂ€nk. DĂ€r finns ocksĂ„ en instruktionsfilm om hur man ska vika och limma ihop den.https://www.redtedart.com/pokemon-evolution-diy-kaleidoscope-paper-toy/ […]
