Crow Hand Puppet

Caw! Caw! Here comes the clever Crow, ready to flap, squawk, and stir up some fun! This cheeky hand puppet brings one of Australia’s most legendary birds to life — a clever character found in many Aboriginal Dreamtime stories.

In these special stories, Crow is known as a trickster, a teacher, and sometimes even a hero! He might steal fire to help others, play pranks to teach lessons, or remind us all to think smart and act wisely. With shiny black feathers and a sharp eye, Crow is full of mischief and meaning!

In the Woiwurrung language of the Kulin Nation (in what is now Victoria), Crow is called Waa. Waa is not just any bird—he is a powerful ancestral being and a moiety totem, representing one half of the balance of life. In other language groups, Crow is also known as Waang (in Taungurung) or Kaarn (in Noongar Country, WA), each with their own unique stories.

Whether you're telling ancient tales, inventing new adventures, or learning about the animals of the Dreaming, Waa the Crow is the perfect puppet pal to have on hand!
