Pokemon seems to be a favorite that is going to stick around – and there are no shortage of kids that LOVE the imaginative critters in this game. When Valentines Day comes around this year, you can let your favorite Pokemon trainer hand out Pikachus with these free printable Pokemon Valentine cards!
Aren’t these the cutest? There’s a spot on the back for the kids to lovingly write in their “to’s” and “from’s”. My two will spend HOURS pouring over proper penmanship on their Valentine cards. And that they get to do it with Pokemon Valentines? Even better.
My favorite part is the ears! Love how they stick up off the top of the card.
How To Assemble the Free Printable Pokemon Valentine Cards
First thing’s first. You’re going to need the graphics for this! SOOO–just click the link below to download this super cute free printable Pokemon Valentine your kids will go crazy for.
Free Printable Pokemon Valentine Card File
Got your free Pokemon Valentine download? Good!
Open up the file and print as many as you need, whether that’s 3 or 300. After you print, cut each Pikachu rectangle out. So easy! This is a good point at which to let the kids write on the cards.
I then used my handy-dandy Xacto knife to trace around the ears. Be sure you have a cutting mat or something similar to keep your table nice.
Fold the card in half to make the ears pop out.
A quick piece of double-sided Scotch Tape (or glue) will keep the folded Pokemon Valentine card together.
These Pokemon Valentines get a little sweet treat! Find some heart shaped chocolates (like these), add a bit of double-sided Scotch Tape and adhere the chocolate to the card.
Now, if you want to skip the chocolate heart step, that’s A-OK. I designed these so you didn’t HAVE to do that part. There is a cute little heart there already on these free printable Pokemon Valentines. I’ve had a few parents suggest sliding a Pokemon playing card through the slit in the back made by the ears as a Valentine treat. So clever–and far less sugar!

These are so cute and I really miss my kids being little! My grands have gotten to the age where they don’t pass out Valentine’s anymore. Luckily their still into Valentine’s sweets.
I only have three years left!! I think I’ll miss it, too when the Valentines for the classroom are over. They all grow up way too fast!
My oldest just had his first Valentine’s exchange. Wish I had seen this earlier. The kids would have loved it! I’d love for you to join our link up To Grandmas House We Go.

What kind of paper did you use for these?
You can use regular white cardstock! When I print, I like my colors more vivid so I use this: https://amzn.to/2FtCoyl You can see my blog post on how to print professional looking prints at home in this blog post: https://frogprincepaperie.com/how-to-make-your-party-printables-look-professionally-made/
Adorable! So glad you placed a heart in the printable, my son just came home with a paper that said NO CANDY!
They work great with a Pokemon card slid through the back where the ears pop up, too! And props to the school for the no-candy paper. I wish there was a little more of that in our area!
