What is Spoonville?
The idea is simple. Grab a spoon (many Spoonsvilles even have a collection of spare spoons for you to grab) and get decorating. Now’s the chance to use your imagination and make it as wild as you like. Replicate your family, make your favourite character, create monsters, animals, or even celebrities. It’s all about having fun.
Once you’re done, head off on a walk and set your spoon up with all the other friends in Spoonville. A growing community for everyone to enjoy when they head off on a walk.
Some people are even setting them outside their own home!
The Origins of Spoonville
Believe it or not, the idea actually originated in the English village of Winnersh. From there, it has simply spiralled and spread, reaching the North Shore in a time when we could all do with a little bit of extra community spirit.
