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?

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.

My 2 year old grandson loves the “todo.” It has lots of personality and is easy to work, even in his little hand. He loves its snuggly, soft body. It’s a “must see” whenever he visits. Very well made, sturdy, holds up well.
