Mala, our beautiful wallaby (small kangaroo), lives in rocky outcrops, escarpments and cliffs with caves and ledges areas of eastern Australia. She loves native grasses, young shoots, leaves, fruit, other plants. Sometimes, she’ll eat fungi or go to properties during drought looking for water and food.
Mala is a full-bodied hand puppet. She’s designed and handmade in the shape and colours of an Australian wallaby or small brown kangaroo in the wild, and carefully hand-crafted using 100% premium soft and luxurious velour polyester fabric. She has strong hindlimbs and tail to help her hop and move around. As an herbivore, she uses her small forelimbs to forage for leaves, and to pull new shouts and seedlings out of the ground. Her big ears help her stay safe, listening for predators and blotting to safety. She’s stuffed to look more like a soft toy, making her comfortable to hold and bring to life.
You can put your hand inside her body to manipulate her mouth and arms and engage her in conversation. You’ll want to take her with you to meet your friends and have lots of fun sharing stories. Inside her pouch, you’ll find her joey safely asleep. Her joey is a finger puppet and easy to remove from her pouch.
Your baby and child will love, respect and gain empathy for wallabies and kangaroos, becoming passionate about preserving wildlife and their environment. We spent time meticulously creating Mala and her joey to resemble an Australian wallaby (small kangaroo). We’ve cut the pattern and fabric to give her features and body shape definition.
Bring Mala to life when you put your hand inside her and learn about kangaroos, role play, read stories, create your own script, and learn and excel in your life’s purpose.
Our Mala is smiling, lovable, and cuddly. Match her with a book, puzzle or sheepskin soft toy for an even more perfect gift.

Benefits of Puppets
Research with early education specialists has highlighted and proven that puppets, as an educational toy for a child’s growing and developing mind have many benefits. Puppets are used as a teacher’s or parent’s aid.
Your children will listen to their animal puppet. When you speak through an animal puppet, your child will respond positively. The puppet will ask your child to brush their teeth or do their homework. You’ll find that your child will complete these tasks, because it’s the puppet asking and not you.
Animal puppets will work fine and gross motor skill dexterity, and hand-eye coordination. Children need to put their hand inside their puppet to manipulate the puppet’s arms, face, and mouth.
By playing with their animal puppets, your child will exercise their memory, develop their language, and become brave and empowered. When children re-tell a story they heard, you will see what they remembered and get an insight into their use of language and reading skills.
When your child performs their puppet show, they learn organisational skills. Your child may create their own story to perform through their puppet, learning script, and creative writing skills. Through their performance, you will get an insight into your child’s emotions and feelings about issues that may come up for them.
