Spoonville comes to Mullum

By now, I'm sure you have spotted Spoonvilles on your walks, social media and in the news. What started out as a fun activity shared by a lady called Karen, in the small English village of Winnersh, Berkshire, has become a world-wide craze that's sweeping our suburbs in an effort to unify and cheer up our communities during the COVID-19 lockdown.  

If you came to our Art-Along with Mrs Lawn, I introduced the project, inviting our Mullum families to contribute a Spoony to our own Spoonville. Here are some of our Spoony's so far. Aren't they wonderful?!

All you need to make your Spoony is:

• a wooden spoon, or similar utensil
• strong glue such as PVA
• a mixture of wool, felt, fabric scraps
• waterproof texta or acrylic paint
• nail polish can be good too
• other bits and bobs such as googly eyes, sequins, pipe cleaners, bottle tops

Characters you may create are totally up to you! Make yourself, your family, your pet, a favorite story character or movie character. The ideas are endless. Make one, make many - it's up to you!

Here are the rules  for information and tips. You'll notice that they have been shared by a community in Scotland!

Once you've seen the sign inviting the Spoonys, start bringing them to school on your family walk. The sign will be attached to the fence on our Mullum Mullum Road entrance. You can attach your Spoonys to the fence or you can 'plant' them on the slope behind the sign. Just make sure they are visible from the road and not hidden behind the sign.

Let's see how many Spoonys we can add!
