| | | Description: | | Is this Tortoise looking for a hare to race? This silk-screened, suede-cloth puppet is just one step away from nature.

The smallest are four inches across, and the biggest are four feet across.
- Because their shells protect them so well against enemies, tortoises are slow movers. The desert tortoise walks one mile in nine hours.
- Tortoises are very long-lived. Many can live to be 100 years old; some can probably live to be 200.
- Sixteen out of eighteen species of Giant tortoise are already extinct and many others are endangered. Tortoises need protection to survive.

 Mine is called EinsteinJul 22, 2000
I named my Folkmanis tortoise "Einstein". He has helped me teach about tortoises, of course. He can pull his head into his shell! But he also helps talk about being shy, and teaches that everyone works at his or her own pace, but we all can succeed. He's small, and easy for little hands, but he fits adult hands too. What will you name yours?

 Good for therapyJun 04, 2009
By Sambenz
It is difficult to rate for the long term as I gave it to someone after using it. It was very helpful in a therapeutic setting. The turtle was very good for demonstrating protection to a child.

Got this for my granddaughter at her request after she saw it used in her music class. She has enjoyed it, so I am happy with the purchase. The quality of Folkmanis puppets is excellent & it is a sweet addition to her collection, just the right size for her 5 year old hands!

By bcole714
My son wanted a turtle where the head and leggs could go into the shell. This puppet is perfect and very durable. He loves it.
