Bilby Full Body Puppet
35 cm H
The Bilby is an important part of traditional indigenous culture in the deserts of Central Australia. Bilbies use their strong forelimbs and claws to build extensive tunnels, which provide shelter from the fierce heat and predators. Each Bilby may have up to 12 burrows, with burrows up to 3m long and 2m deep. They will dig a new burrow every few weeks and these are often also used by other native animals. Bilbies are nocturnal, emerging after dark to forage for food. Using their long snouts, they dig out bulbs, tubers, spiders, termites, witchetty grubs and fungi. They use their tongues to lick up grass seeds. They have poor sight and rely on good hearing and a keen sense of smell.

Black Ant Hand Puppet
Black Ant Hand Puppet
An ant colony consists of three types of ants: a queen, female workers and males. The queen spends her entire life mating with male ants and laying eggs. Each carpenter ant colony is founded by a single fertilized queen ant, who lays her eggs in a cavity in wood and feeds them with her own saliva. The population may eventually grow to produce up to 2,000 workers. Pavement ants may have multiple queens and colonies with 3,000 to 4,000 workers.

Eric Carle The Greedy Python
The greedy python eats every creature he comes across.
From a tiny mouse to an enormous elephant, the eaten animals eventually befriend one another in the belly of the snake where they team up and kick the inside of the python until he spits them out.
Rather than learning his lesson, the python sticks to his greedy ways – when he spots his own tail, and mistakes it for food, he swallows himself and disappears!
