Press the head ball onto the top front of the body to attach it.
Step 5
Smooth the seam between the head and body with your finger until it looks joined.
Step 6
Roll four short cylinders for legs and press them under the body to attach them.
Step 7
Shape a long teardrop of clay for the tail and press it onto the back of the body.
Step 8
Flatten two triangle ear shapes and press them onto the top sides of the head.
Step 9
Roll a thin rope of clay for the fluffy collar and press it around Eevee’s neck.

Help!?
What can I use if I don't have the exact materials like acrylic paints, a toothpick, or a flat plate?
If you don't have acrylic paint use washable tempera or craft paint to paint your dry Eevee, substitute a sewing needle or the blunt end of a pencil for the toothpick to add fur lines and indents, and dry the sculpture on a ceramic saucer, cardboard covered with foil, or a clean paper plate instead of the flat plate.
My Eevee's head keeps falling off—what should I do during the attachment steps?
When the head ball won't stay, press it firmly onto the top front of the body, smooth and blend extra clay into the seam with your finger as in step 5, and support the join with a small dab of damp clay or a temporary prop until it dries fully per the clay package instructions.
How can I change the activity for different ages or skill levels?
For younger kids, simplify by rolling pre-made balls and having them press on the head, legs, tail, and ears (steps 2–8), while older kids can add fine fur texture with a toothpick, refine shapes with small tools in step 11, and practice shading when painting in step 13.
How can we extend or personalize the Eevee project after finishing the basic sculpture?
After drying and painting in steps 12–13, personalize your Eevee by painting unique markings, adding a protective varnish, mounting it on a decorated base, or creating other Pokémon variants and then share your favorite version on DIY.org.

Facts about clay modeling for kids
🦊 Eevee can evolve into eight official "Eeveelutions" in the main Pokémon games: Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, and Sylveon.
🎨 Air-dry clay hardens without baking—many projects become touch-dry in 24–72 hours depending on thickness and humidity.
🖌️ Acrylic paints are kid-friendly, dry fast, and stick well to dried air-dry clay; a clear varnish helps protect your finished figure.
🧩 Adding a simple wire armature or toothpicks inside your clay sculpture gives extra support for long ears, tails, or thin legs.
✍️ Ken Sugimori illustrated many of the original Pokémon designs and helped give Eevee its iconic, friendly look.
