This delightful pull-along turtle is part of the Pepe & Friends series by Hape. As with all Hape toys, it is high quality and lovely to look at. For grandmas like me, the unique feel of old-fashioned wood, merged with a modern design is just perfect and takes me back to my own childhood (I find this is happening just a bit too often nowadays).
Its eye-catching light green body contrasts with the dark green ‘shell’ – which is actually a circle filled with green liquid, which turns. This makes the liquid splash into the different segments, creating attractive shapes, as the toddler pulls it along.
It is a nice size – big enough to catch the interest of your little one, but small and light enough for them to handle easily, when they have just got the hang of walking.
I know my grandson loves it – and that is the ultimate test, isn’t it?
