Clancy the Prep / Kindy Wombat
Meet Clancy, a 13cm heirloom Australian wombat doll from the Rugaroo collection.
For Clancy, his first year of school is one big adventure. He's usually the first one through the school gate, waving to the lollipop person before racing off to see what's changed overnight. Did the gum tree drop more gum nuts? Has the magpie built a new nest? Is there a really good stick waiting to be discovered?
By Crunch & Sip, Clancy's already collected a pocket full of treasures. By home time, his backpack is somehow twice as heavy, filled with gum nuts, smooth rocks, feathers, leaves, and one very good stick that absolutely has to come home.
His lunchbox usually comes home with half a squashed banana and one bite missing from his Vegemite sandwich because he was far too busy exploring. News Day is his favourite day of the week, even if his "special treasure" is something only he can truly appreciate.
Clancy is curious about everything. He asks a hundred questions a day, notices the little things other people miss, and somehow turns every ordinary walk into an adventure.
"Can I keep this?"
"Watch this!"
"Look what I found!"Every day's an adventure.
A joyful addition to any Rugaroo collection, this heirloom wombat toy is made for curious little explorers, nature lovers, and children with big imaginations. A thoughtful gift for children, grandparents, teachers, and anyone who remembers coming home from school with pockets full of treasures and a backpack that was somehow heavier than when the day began.
Complete with his very own backpack, Clancy is the perfect companion for little ones getting ready for Prep, Kindy, or their very first year of school. Whether they're practising packing their bag, playing out their school day, or simply taking Clancy along for the adventure, he's there to help make this exciting milestone feel a little more familiar... and a whole lot more fun.
Pairs perfectly with Maisie, sold separately.

Why select the pouch bag?
A very Australian thing
Eight states. Eight names. One very big first day.
Only in Australia do we manage to give the same milestone eight completely different names and act like that is perfectly normal.
Kindy in New South Wales. Prep in Victoria, Queensland and Tasmania. Reception in South Australia. Pre-primary in Western Australia. Transition in the Northern Territory. Foundation in the ACT. Whatever your state decided to call it, Clancy does not mind. He has got his backpack on and he is ready.
Maisie is in his class. So nobody has to be the only new kid.
THE STORY BEHIND THIS ONE
You choose Clancy for the child who is nervous, excited, and trying very hard not to show it.
Clancy is for the child standing at the school gate for the first time, backpack on, doing their best to look like they have done this before. The child who is brave in the way that only little kids can be brave, which is to say, completely and without really knowing it.
He has been chosen for first days of Kindy, Prep, Reception and everything in between. For the child who needs a little mate who is starting school too. For the parent who wants to give something small and meaningful on a big day.
Maisie is in his class. So nobody has to be the only new kid.
"Starting school is something every Australian kid goes through. Now they have a little mate who gets it."
The Rugaroo Wombat Collection is our most Australian series. Built like boulders, soft as anything. Wazza, Marg, Clancy and Maisie are four characters, four stories, all grounded in the moments that make up an Australian life.
Clancy is also a meaningful gift for visiting friends and family. A handcrafted heirloom doll that travels home carrying a story of Australian childhood with it.
He is not just a doll. He is a reminder that the first big scary thing is always survivable, and usually pretty good once you get there.
FOR THE DOLLHOUSE AND SMALL-WORLD PLAY COMMUNITY
Australia's most loveable new student, reimagined as a meaningful Australian gift.
The wombat is one of Australia's most recognisable native animals. Sturdy, determined, and entirely unbothered by the opinions of others. Clancy captures all of that, and adds a backpack.
The Rugaroo Wombat Collection brings them to life in miniature. Four characters, each grounded in Australian identity, carefully crafted into heirloom dolls made for small world play, dollhouse storytelling and imaginative play that lasts. Pieces made to be kept, gifted and passed on.
For the child starting school, for the collector, or for anyone who wants a gift that feels genuinely Australian, Clancy is a first day of school gift that will outlast the nerves, the lunchbox phase and probably the school itself.
