If you haven’t seen Toy Story 4, you might be wondering who is Forky.
Forky is a simple little toy Bonnie makes in the movie from a spork and some craft supplies. Everyone seems to think since he’s a spork his name should be Sporky, but that’s not what Bonnie decided to name him, so Forky it is!
She loves him and brings him home to become one of her new toys! Your kids will definitely want a homemade Forky of their own, so check out these easy directions.
DIY Forky Supplies
- White spork
- Adhesive googly eyes
- Pipe cleaners
- Popsicle sticks
- White clay
- Rainbow stickers
- Wikki Stix
- Teal marker
- Red marker
- Scissors
How To Make A Forky Step By Step
First, guide your child to cut your popsicle stick in half and use the teal marker to write Bonnie or your child’s name on the bottom of the popsicle sticks.
Take a small chunk of modeling clay and make it into a small volcano shape.
Stick the craft stick halves onto the underside of the clay with Forky’s feet angled outward a bit on a flat surface.
Use a blue Wikki Stix to make Forky’s mouth and press it on the back of the spork. In this example, we made him surprised, but you can make it a smile or anything you want.
Now, encourage your child to use a red Wikki Stix on Forky’s face to make his eyebrows.
Choose 2 different sized adhesive googly eyes and attach them to the middle of the spork.
Take the bottom of the spork and press it into the top of the clay volcano.
Next, help your child to make Forky’s arms. Wrap your red pipe cleaner around the handle of the spork. Shape the ends of the pipe cleaner to make 3 fingers on each side.
Color the sides of Forky’s mouth with a marker, then dab it with your finger to blur the marker and give him rosy cheeks.
Place your rainbow sticker on the edge of one foot.
