How To Set Up A Toy Story Forky Playdough Tray

1. Roll small balls of white, red, and blue playdough and place them in the center of a divided tray.

2. Fill the remaining sections with googly eyes in assorted sizes, red pipe cleaners, craft sticks, a spoon (or spork), and a black marker (if you’re using a spoon).

3. Invite children to explore the materials and recreate Forky.

How To Make Forky

1. If using a plain white spoon instead of a spork, use a black marker to draw short lines across the top of the spoon to resemble the tines of a spork.

2. Press a small amount of white playdough onto the bottom of the spoon to create Forky’s feet.

3. Push two broken craft sticks into the playdough at an angle to form his legs.

4. Wrap a red pipe cleaner around the spoon to make Forky’s arms. Bend each end upward to create fun poses.

5. Add two googly eyes near the top of the spoon with white playdough. Using different-sized eyes gives Forky his signature look.

6. Roll a thin cylinder of red playdough and press it above the eyes to create his eyebrow.

7. Roll another thin cylinder of blue playdough, shape it into an oval and attach it below the eyes for his mouth.

How Kids Play With This Toy Story Forky Playdough Tray

Once Forky is assembled, the fun is only beginning! This open-ended play tray encourages children to use their imagination while strengthening fine motor skills.

• Build and rebuild Forky. Remove the eyes, mouth, and eyebrow, then create new facial expressions using the playdough.
• Pretend play. Bring Forky to life by acting out favorite scenes from Toy Story 4 or inventing brand-new adventures with Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the gang.
• Create emotions. Shape different mouths and eyebrows to make Forky look happy, surprised, sleepy, worried, or excited. Talk about each emotion while playing.
• Practice fine motor skills. Roll tiny balls and cylinders of playdough, pinch small pieces into place, twist the pipe cleaner arms, and carefully press on the googly eyes.
