Description

The Kangaroo with Joey Puppet is a particularly valuable therapy puppet for exploring attachment, nurturing relationships, family connections and feelings of safety and belonging.

The joey tucked into the kangaroo’s pouch provides a natural starting point for imaginative play around being cared for, caring for others, protection, closeness and having a safe place. It can be especially useful when working with themes of parenting, adoption, fostering, family transitions and changing caregiving relationships. The joey can also be removed from the pouch.

The kangaroo and joey can also support therapeutic exploration of separation and reunion, independence, growing up, sibling relationships and the balance between connection and autonomy.

Through play therapy and therapeutic storytelling, children can create their own stories and give meaning to the relationship between the kangaroo and joey. This allows the therapist to follow the child’s lead while exploring important emotional and relational themes.
