The puppet sewing pattern of the month is the…..platypus! To celebrate we have a FREE coloring page you can download.
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.
