Trash?

No way!

If you haven't seen Toy Story 4, you're going to think I've gone totally mad. But stay with me!⁠⁠

(As an aside, if you've not seen Toy Story 4 I kind of judge you a little bit for that. Maybe go away and watch it, then come back)⁠⁠

This is my Forkie. He is unique and special and definitely not TRASH!

⁠⁠In Toy Story 4, one of the film's stars, a little girl called Bonnie feels lost and alone on her first day of school. Toys aren't allowed so she crafts her own best friend and protector from stuff she finds in the trash. ⁠⁠FORKY IS BORN!

⁠⁠Forky quickly becomes her favourite toy. Why? Well, at first, because he can be there for her when no one else can. But over time he becomes her most special toy wherever she is. ⁠⁠I think the reason Forky is so special is that she made him. She took what she had in front of her and created something new. She changed the world around her to look like she wanted it to. So unlike her other toys, Forky was a part of her and a symbol of what she could achieve just with the power of her creativity.⁠⁠

Kids get the chance to do this all the time! As adults we don't get to take materials and shape them in our own unique way. Through Craft Box Club I want to give adults a space to create and play on your own terms and go away with something meaningful. Something your proud of. ⁠⁠So is Forky trash!? No way! He's people!

⁠⁠Start your creative journey! Go make a Forky, Spoony, Brushy, JamJary based on whatever you have around you. ⁠⁠Post below! I can't wait to see what you make!⁠⁠

P.S. apparently there is a Forky toy you can actually go and buy. Seriously?! I think someone missed the point!⁠⁠
