NEW Wombat Stew 8 Piece Finger Puppet Set

Inspired by the beloved Australian classic Wombat Stew, this officially Scholastic licensed finger puppet set brings the story’s unforgettable bush characters to life. 

First published in 1984, Wombat Stew by Marcia K. Vaughan has delighted generations of children with its playful rhyming text and engaging storyline. Illustrated by Pamela Lofts, the book follows a cunning dingo who tries to cook up a delicious wombat stew, only to be outwitted by the clever bush animals who each add their own special "ingredient" to the pot.

These beautifully handcrafted finger puppet set features eight iconic Australian bush animals:

- Dingo: the mischievous trickster with a taste for wombat stew
- Wombat: the unsuspecting hero of the story
- Echidna: the spiky bush companion with a clever plan
- Koala: the sleepy but wise tree-dweller
- Blue-tongued lizard: a scaly, sneaky storyteller
- Platypus: the curious water-dweller with a special addition to the stew
- Kookaburra: the cheeky bird with a laugh that echoes through the bush
- Emu: the tall, swift-footed helper

Perfect for storytelling, role-playing, and early learning, these finger puppets encourage children to immerse themselves in the world of Wombat Stew, fostering a love for Australian literature and wildlife. Handcrafted by skilled women artisans in Nepal using 100 percent NZ wool and azo-free dyes, this set is not only a delightful playtime companion but also an ethical and sustainable choice.
