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).First, we took a pipe cleaner and twisted it around the stem of the spork, making sure that both sides were roughly even.
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.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.
If you’re making this Forky craft with older kids who can use a hot glue gun supervised, I recommend doing it that way right from the start. However, we implemented different color pipe cleaners, Wikki Stix, and markers to make different Pixar character designs. We used some old playdough for this, but if you do not have any lying around you could make our super fast 5 minute microwave play dough. 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!Disney Pixar’s My First Bedtime Storybook: This book is exactly what it says – fun stories to read the kids for bedtime! Speaking of Forky’s feet, I briefly considered substituting coffee stirrers for popsicle sticks, but they were too thin and didn’t look right, so I bought Häagen-Dazs ice cream bars, which have wider sticks than other brands.

So here’s a quick, easy, (and cheap) DIY tutorial on how to make your own Forky (and one that is pretty toddler-proof too).
