Stick the spork into the mound of the dough so that it has a secure fit in the dough (but not coming through the bottom of the dough). Etsy’s 100% renewable electricity commitment includes the electricity used by the data centers that host Etsy.

A hunk of white clay serves as the base on which Forky stands, the two halves of the popsicle stick jutting out in front. Plus we have so many of the materials leftover to do another session of make your own Forky with other Pixar movies (I want to do Up and Ratatouille next). You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Wikki Stix would also be a good option for older kids for the mouth and eyebrow because they can be re-shaped.The spork-turned-toy is the creation of the gang’s new child, Bonnie, and unwillingly brought to life (with a voice provided by Veep’s Tony Hale). Poor Forky was left with one leg, his arms down around his ankles, his unibrow, and a partially falling off mouth. While you can find plastic spoons and forks aplenty at just about any eating establishment, it’s harder to find a spork, and my local supermarket was similarly spork-less. Stick the craft stick halves onto the underside of the clay with Forky’s feet angled outward a bit on a flat surface. Cut the pointed end off the spork (about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch) so that the end is flat (this helps make Forky’s body more secure).

The great thing about using Wikki Stix is they’re endlessly repositionable so your kids can change Forky’s facial features as many times as they want! Imagine your little one’s excitement as they color their favorite Disney characters with these free printable Disney color by number printables. Each step is done with care and at the end, when you decide just how his fixed facial expression will look, you essentially seal Forky’s fate. Next you can take a full red pipe cleaner and tie it round Forky’s middle making sure to twist the two sides together to secure. Note: if you are using a regular size popsicle stick instead, just cut it in half, you won’t need to shorten the pieces.Kids love this short lift-a-flap book, which features all their favorite characters, including Buzz Lightyear! After struggling initially to figure out the right arm-to-finger ratio, after figuring out that perfect amount of putty, the creation came naturally. We already had glue in the mailroom, so I decided that glitter glue, which Bonnie uses to attach Forky’s eyes in the movie, was an unnecessary luxury. First you need to take your fork, turn it so the indented side is facing away from you and you are looking at the round side. Forky was fun to assemble, though, and the process made me nostalgic for a time when anything with a face could be a friend and I could take an hour in the middle of the day to stick googly eyes on inanimate objects.

Then add the rainbow sticker to the top side of the right leg towards the curved end (aka Forky’s foot). From Disney Pictopia to Hedbanz and Family Feud, these games are perfect for all ages and will bring your favorite Disney characters to life. While each smiling Forky ended with various gushing and cooing over his mismatched eyes and dopey arms, the sheer joy that came from breaking away from the Forky mold and crafting a friend of our own creation was unmatched. I of course let her help make Forky, but I was a little apprehensive on letting her walk away from the table with it, even after ALL of the glue dried.Almost two decades and several moves later, Sick-a and Sick-o are long gone, and I had forgotten about them completely until I saw Toy Story 4, in which Bonnie creates her own makeshift friend at preschool out of a spork, a pipe cleaner, and other odds and ends found in a trash can.

Forky dominated most of the Toy Story 4 trailers and subsequently dominates most of that sweet, sweet Disney merchandise. Once, when I was home sick from school and bored, my mom entertained me by taking a cotton ball, wrapping it with a tissue so that it had a big floof sticking up on top, and drawing a face on it with a Sharpie. He’s also a prime opportunity for Disney to sell a massive quantity of merchandise, which so far includes a Funko figure, a key chain, various plushies, a spoon rest, a nightmare-inducing costume, and a talking action figure who bemoans the agony of being alive on command.For the mouth I used only Elmer’s glue and I completely covered the string with it so it would stay in place and dry hard. While creating Forky was an intimate, artistic process, mass-producing homemade Forkys took its toll. Use the colourful dough and accessories provided to create your own Forky (detailed instructions provided).
