The koala is one of the most recognizable animals of Australia

You can find Australian stuffed animals to represent the diverse population of wildlife that inhabits the Australian continent.  Australian animals include such animals as  the koala, the kangaroo, the dingo, the emu, the echidna, the wombat, the tasmanian devil, the crocodile and the platypus to name a few.

Australian stuffed animals can be used in a variety of ways:

Collectible Animals – Many people collect stuffed animals from a certain region of the world, and Australian animals would be a excellent place to start.

Education- A nice classroom idea would be to have a collection of Australian stuffed animals around the room. The children could then learn about each of the animals throughout the year, and they would gain a good understanding of which animals come from Australia. Throw in a few episodes of The Crocodile Hunter or Bindi the Jungle Girl for an additional Austrlian wildlife educational adventure!

Decoration – One decorating idea would be to design a room or a house with Australian decor.  You could include Australia stuffed animals, signs pointing to different locations in Australia, a map of Australia, a wall clock set to Australia time and pictures of the Australian outback that coordinate with the room colors. Use your imagination.
