A Series of Laugh and Grow

Real animals, reimagined plump and cheerful — painted in lifelike detail, sculpted impossibly cute.

🐢

Chubby & Full of Character

Rounded, soft and undeniably cute — yet every scale, wrinkle and marking is hand-painted true to the real animal. The reaction it gets in person is always the same: so detailed, and so adorable.

Ready to Display

A single, sturdy hand-painted piece — no assembly, no fuss. Set it on a desk or shelf and it holds its happy pose, ready to collect and show off.

A distinctly Mexican member of the box-turtle family, the Mexican box turtle roams the woodlands and scrub of northeastern Mexico. High-domed and handsomely patterned, it is a southern counterpart to the box turtles of the United States.

A Mexican Native

Found in the woodlands of northeastern Mexico, this species is one of several box turtles that carry the family south of the border — a reminder of how far this hardy group ranges.

A Handsome Dome

Its tall, rounded shell is marked with lines and blotches over a warm background, an attractive pattern rendered crisply on this plump figure.

The Box-Turtle Trick

Like all box turtles it can close its hinged shell completely, sealing itself safely inside — a portable shelter carried everywhere it roams.

A Gentle Forager

It ambles through the Mexican woodland floor feeding on fruit, fungi and small prey — a gentle, long-lived homebody, here rounded into a plump figure.

“A handsome southern box turtle, carrying the family into Mexico.”
