Wombat Stew Finger Puppets Set by Tara Treasures

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.

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

– Dingo: the mischievous trickster with a taste for wombat stew (height 14cm)
– Wombat: the unsuspecting hero of the story (height 7.5cm)
– Echidna: the spiky bush companion with a clever plan (height 8cm)
– Koala: the sleepy but wise tree-dweller (height 12cm)
– Blue-tongued lizard: a scaly, sneaky storyteller (height 17.5cm)
– Platypus: the curious water-dweller with a special addition to the stew (height 11.5cm)
– Kookaburra: the cheeky bird with a laugh that echoes through the bush (height 11.5cm)
– Emu: the tall, swift-footed helper (height 17cm)

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.

Bring the magic of Wombat Stew to life and let the storytelling fun begin.
