Hape Twist & Tune Turtle - Musical Baby Toy with Rotating Shell

Introduce little ones to music and sensory discovery with the Hape Twist & Tune Turtle! This adorable musical baby toy features a rotating shell that plays soothing melodies when twisted, encouraging babies to explore the connection between movement and sound.

With soft, textured silicone limbs, colourful musical notes and a compact, easy-to-grasp design, this friendly turtle offers engaging tactile, visual and auditory experiences for babies and toddlers.

Twist the Shell to Make Music

A simple twist of the turtle's shell activates gentle melodies, introducing babies to cause and effect through interactive play. Younger babies can watch and listen as an adult turns the shell, while growing toddlers can explore making the music themselves.

The colourful musical notes add visual interest, while the soothing melodies make the turtle a lovely companion for quieter playtime and winding-down routines.

Soft Textures for Sensory Exploration

The turtle's soft, textured silicone limbs invite little hands to touch, grasp and explore different sensations. Its compact shape makes it suitable for sensory discovery as babies develop their interest in holding and manipulating toys.

Designed to stand upright or lie flat, the Twist & Tune Turtle can be positioned in different ways to introduce variety during playtime.
