Tuatara Soft Toy Puppet with Sound

Tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) get their name from te reo Māori, translating to 'peaks on the back' in English.

While spikey in real life, our plushy Tuatara puppet is perfectly suited for becoming your new favourite cuddle buddy! Makes real sounds when squeezed.

Our tuatara puppet is big enough for adult hands and measures 70cm from nose to tip of the tail. He's soft and plush and strangely handsome.
