The emu is the world's second-largest bird and famously can't walk backwards — it's on the Australian coat of arms for precisely that reason: forwards only. This EUGY was made in association with the Royal Australian Mint, whose 50 cent coin the emu also graces, and it builds up in recyclable, biodegradable card.
Ages 6+ · Builds in about 10–20 minutes
What's in the box
- Pre-cut, numbered card slices — legs, neck, the lot
- A pot of non-toxic glue included
- Illustrated step-by-step instructions with emu fun facts
How it builds
- Glue the slices in number order and the long-legged shape sorts itself out
- Ten to twenty minutes, screen-free, from age six
- A must for anyone collecting EUGY's flightless birds
Done, it stands tall and faintly indignant on your shelf — a proper Aussie icon that never takes a step back.
Big bird, small box, no reverse gear. March through the complete EUGY range, or see why we reckon these kits beat screen time.
