tin toy tortoise

Tortoise in da house.

Since a few days we have a pet. A walking tortoise, a walking tin tortoise. Nostalgia!

Our brown tin tortoise, slowly walks on the harlequin carpet with his cute curved legs! You only need to wind him up and he simultaneously moves his legs, tail and head just like the real animal.

A real one would have been even more fun of course, but we simply don't have the right climate for tortoises.

I bought the tortoise in the Villa Augustus market shop and there are some more tortoises waiting for a new home.

You can see our tortoise in action on my INSTAGRAM!
