It might lean a little to the left, the roof might leak when it rains, and the front door is usually just a flap of fabric, but according to Billie, it’s a masterpiece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBillie spends every school holidays with her grandparents, Col and Riva, at their campground, where there’s always a fresh supply of campers to recruit as builders. She’s heard a grey nomad named Kev is on his way and has already pencilled him in as her apprentice. Bev has advised her not to give him a deadline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBillie takes cubby building very seriously. Every good cubby needs a secret entrance, a lookout tower, a spot for snacks and, most importantly, a handwritten sign that reads NO GROWN-UPS ALLOWED. Unless, of course, the grown-ups are bringing bikkies. Given that Nan Riva makes the best bikkies in the bush, exceptions are made quite often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eLiving in the Rugaroo Wilds means there’s never a shortage of building materials. Fallen branches become walls, gum leaves make excellent roofing, and an old cardboard box can be transformed into just about anything. Billie has even been known to borrow a few pegs from the Backyard Hoist, much to Betty the Bush Belle’s amusement. Betty reckons a little imagination never hurt anyone, although she’d quite like her pegs back before washing day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAnd when the other little mates come over to play, Billie is always ready with a new project. One day it’s a bush hideaway, the next it’s a secret clubhouse, and by Friday there’s an entire miniature village under construction. Naturally, Billie is the builder, architect and site manager. \u003cstrong\u003ePayment is accepted in fairy bread.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBillie dresses the way she builds, with a little bit of everything. Her colourful patchwork check top looks like she’s collected every bright scrap of fabric in the Wilds, paired with cream shorts, lace-trimmed socks and a bow she insists is structural.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBillie is a limited edition \u003cstrong\u003e13cm heirloom echidna doll,\u003c\/strong\u003e designed in Australia and crafted in our signature Rugaroo plush style. Kid-sized for little adventures alongside Bindi, Dusty and the other kiddos of the Rugaroo Wilds, she has hidden magnetic hands for holding a stick, a peg or the very important blueprints. She’s also the only echidna in the family who fits on The Swing, a fact she reminds her grandparents of regularly. Dollhouse compatible and made for small-world play, she encourages children to explore creativity, problem-solving, friendship and the magic of making something from almost nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWhether she’s building a secret hideout on the Ocean Road Play Mat, taking a victory lap on The Swing at the Rugaroo Miniature Playground, or sitting proudly on a nursery shelf planning the next big project, Billie brings a whole lot of Australian bush charm and imaginative adventure into every playroom. She’s a perfect gift for little builders, cubby makers and every child who has ever turned a cardboard box into a castle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBillie doesn’t need fancy toys, expensive tools or a building permit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJust a few sticks, a little imagination and someone to hold the roof up.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rugabub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50630158549157,"sku":"TCB-01 BS 001","price":61.27,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0495\/1100\/6373\/files\/billie-cubby-builder-echidna-doll-rugaroo.png?v=1791674759","url":"https:\/\/rugabub.com.au\/products\/billie-the-cubby-builder-echidna-miniature-plush-doll","provider":"Rugabub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
