You are wondering, why the platypus? It has come to our attention that the more unusual animals are making their way into children’s books. Animals like….platypus, wombat, sloth, to name a few, are now being featured as characters in kids’ books and other media. As an example, Perry the Platypus is a character from the popular Phineas and Ferb show.

Horse Pattern – Customer Adapation
We love it when a customer adapts one of our animal puppet patterns to create what they want. Maureen used our horse pattern and adapted it to give the horse a blaze and chest markings.

These changes give the puppet a whole new look which is just adorable!
