Creative Play Puppets

About This Episode

Creative Play Puppets has sourced and supplied puppets to Australian puppeteers, schools, teachers, libraries, organisations, specialists and families for over a decade.

Noel White and his wife began the business as a side project while raising their young family. Though they would soon become enamoured by all that puppet play has to offer, and their toy store venture switched focus and thus began Creative Play Puppets.

Travelling near and far (in those heady Covid-free days) to find puppets for all wants and needs Creative Play Puppet’s inventory begins with the smallest of finger puppets and nursery rhyme families, glove puppets, marionettes, storybook themes and animals galore, to three-headed dragons, magic trees, and of course their fabulous range of Silly Puppets, whose soft mouth operation can be infused all kinds of emotions making them a hit with educators and therapists alike.

We hope this chat with Noel inspires you in your exploration of puppet play.
