Resist. Do not buy a pre-made faux-Forky or a “kit” where the machine tells you how to make Forky. The only way your kid should play with Forky is if you all make your own Forkies. That is the point of Forky. That is the message. Here’s how walk-the-Forky-walk after you see the new movie and make your own Forky in four steps.
Step 1: Obtain a Spork
Step 2: Obtain Googly Eyes
If you don’t already have googly eyes in the house; let’s focus up. Googly eyes make everything better and kids love them. If you’re worried about the choking-hazard aspect of this, just get the big ones. Here are 100 googly eyes for $4.99 to go with your army of 50 Forkies you’re about to create.
Step 3: Pipe Cleaner Limbs
This shouldn’t be too hard. But if you don’t have an arts-and-crafts store near you, consider substituting twisty ties from produce bags at the grocery store, and using those to make Forky’s arms. Will the arms be the same color as the ones in Toy Story 4? Maybe, maybe not, but last time we checked twisty-ties at the grocery store were free.
Step 4: Draw a Mouth With a Marker
Do you have markers in the house? Is your kid human? We’re gonna gamble and say you have a marker. There! You’re all set! You’ve just figured out how to make 50 Forkies from Toy Story for half the price of one official one manufactured by Disney. Now, use that money you saved to buy a large popcorn and a bottle of wine for you and your spouse. Toy Story 4 is out everywhere in movie theaters this weekend
