The elusive Aussie carnivore! Not only does it look a bit like a lean dog, the Australian dingo is actually our only native wild-dog. It's a brave, intelligent and stealthy animal that once lived across most of our vast continent. Imagine yourself at telling stories while you wait with the kids, or reading an Aussie yarn at bedtime, or on a long trip somewhere ... you whip out the dingo puppet and find he's hungry! .... looking for a snack. Or maybe he's lonely and looking for his friend the cockatoo? Be brave, have a go ... don't let puppets intimidate you. Kids typically react very well to puppets, and we're happy to show you a few tricks. The Ocean Yuen collection of hand puppets includes a range of Australian animals. Designed and made right here in Australia, they make a great souvenir for visitors from overseas. The design of the dingo puppet also makes it suitable for use in a school, library or kinder environment for imaginative play and story telling! In particular, the thickness and quality of the fabric makes them superior to the souvenir-style puppets available. The dingo puppet makes a great gift, and puppetry itself fosters creativity, communication, and empathy in children, making learning enjoyable while enhancing social and emotional skills through imaginative play. Its hole size is suitable for a small adult hand or child, and if you can reach, you can move its little paws about!
