Make This Pokemon Eevee Valentine Box Craft with Your Kid!
If your kiddo is like mine, they need this Pokemon Eevee Valentine box in their life. No doubt, this epic Valentines mailbox has a permanent home at our house.

Here at Ruffles and Rain Boots, we can literally sing the “Gotta Catch ‘Em All” song from Pokemon’s intro. And not 100% because the kiddo sometimes has Ash Catchem’s adventures on constant replay–Pokemon did originally come out when I was a kiddo, so I did dabble on my own when I was a young’un. LOL! So, when she asked if we could make a Pokemon Valentine mailbox, I was down.

Tips to Make Pokemon Valentine Box Craft
- First, click here to download the little neck scruff and eyes–all the details you need to give your Eevee life.
- Second, grab some nesting boxes you’ve got lying around from Christmas or click here to grab the cheapest (money-wise, they still look pretty sturdy) boxes I could find.
- Next, don’t overthink this. I know, I know, but this isn’t the Mona Lisa here, you’re just making a Pokemon Valentine’s mailbox. So, do your best to paint your box brown, or cover it with kraft paper, whatever is easiest for you, then paste on the decorations. You do not have to be a perfectionist.
- Cut a hole in the top somewhere. I didn’t get that far before I was so excited to snap pictures, but that’s kind of the point for a Valentine’s mailbox, right?! So, be sure to cut that hole in the top. I’m thinking 1-inch by 3-inches should be adequate.
How Do I Make this Eevee Valentine Box?

Do you print the printables on regular paper or card stock?
We did both and I would suggest white card stock because the kids will love playing with them. ;)
The Eevee printable details link actually links to the printable for the Charmander box. :(
Just updated that link, Stephenie – thank you so much for letting me know.
Thank you, my son is so excited to get started on his box!
