The Souvenirs of Australia Kangaroo hand puppet has a hole size suitable for both adults and children. The size of the puppet also means that an adult's hand can utilize the thumb and pinky to animate its little arms. Put this all together, and your roo can bounce on your hand, move its arms about and tell little stories! 

There are several types of kangaroos and a many cousins to this beautiful creature. If you visit the Dandenong Ranges, you will rarely see a red kangaroo, and more likely see smaller grey kangaroos and lots of wallabys. Our kangaroo puppet is great for story-telling, and great as a little travelling companion. 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.
