Meet Petal, the beautiful 41cm Australian Sugar Glider. Sugar Glider’s live in temperate forests around Australia and have distinctive markings.
They are noctural (active at night) and are quite shy and timid. They use the flaps of skin between their arms and legs to use as wings as they glide from tree to tree seeking food.
Petal is a sweet little lady who can be used as a tool to engage with others. Conversation between a third party and children can sometimes be less intimidating than discussion between and adult and child. Creating her character and having talks about how she feels and what she likes and doesn’t like and who she likes to play with, and how she sometimes struggles making friends, or can’t sit still etc can make her relatable in the emotional situations children find themselves in.
She is quite realistic to look at and is lovely and soft to touch.
