Walking through our local park recently, I spotted a new addition – Spoonville.
I have no idea who put this into our park, but am very grateful to them – I know that it turned my day around and gave me a huge smile when I first discovered it. And I have seen so many other people stop, smile and admire the growing Spoonville village.
Like the teddy bears and rainbows we shared earlier in the year, Spoonville is a very simple idea that many people can participate with to build community and create smiles in the challenging times that 2020 and COVID-19 have brought us. Adding a face and decorations to a spoon is all it takes to participate – and I love that the town sign states “All spoons welcome”.
And our local Spoonville does keep on growing…
Have you seen anything like Spoonville?
Just today, I noticed that a local kinder also has some spoons in their front garden and my daughter’s school sent out a notice that they have added a Spoonville village in their garden, too.

There is actually a website celebrating Spoony villages and Spoon people around the world! It is lovely to see a group of ‘people’ who can happily be close together without worrying about social distancing or spreading a virus!
If you start a Spoonville of your own, or participate in an existing one, let us know in the comments and maybe share a photo or two!
Taking my local walk today I came across a new Spoonville. This one is created by a 10 year old girl and is based on laminated pictures rather than actual spoons – I think it is quite cute!
I must remember to walk past again in a few days and see if this Spoonville has grown at all.
I found this Spoonville beside a track near my house – all the spoonpeople are made of cardboard so I’m not sure how will they will have lasted through rain we had last night. Glad I got a photo in time!
Spoonville is heaps of fun and I love the colours brightening our neighbourhoods during this sad year.
Ho Jaycee, thanks for sharing your local Spoonville. What a pity if it was washed away or ruined by rain! Have you been back to check on how it fared?
I love the lips and blue hair on the lady spoon in the middle 🙂
Oh, I had no idea where Spoonville had started! But I do enjoy seeing this one in a driveway that I walk past sometimes – not so public I guess and only one family adding to it, but I like it.
Hi Caitlyn, that is a cute Spoonville 🙂 It’s a lot of spoons if it is done by one family – they’re having fun with it, I’d say! Thanks for sharing.
