Bilby Hand Puppet - Hansa Creation

As part of imaginative play, the bilby hand puppet by Hansa Creation can quickly take on its own role. It works well in puppet theatre, in story based play and in small role playing scenes. New ideas often emerge while playing.

The bilby (Macrotis lagotis) is a nocturnal solitary creature from Australia's arid regions. It digs spiral-shaped burrows up to two metres deep and feeds on insects, seeds and fungi. With its long ears, it regulates body temperature and locates prey underground. The bilby is strictly protected as an endangered species.

Did you know that in Australia, the bilby replaces the Easter bunny? Since the 1990s, chocolate bilbies have been sold at Easter — with proceeds funding the protection of this threatened species. The "Easter Bilby" has become a national symbol.
