ASSEMBLY

FL

FR

The turtle legs are not inter­changeable. The initials on the
underside of each leg identifies the
slot that it fits into. Carefully snap the

4 legs into the openings on the

underside of Topsy Turtle. See Figure

2 and Figure 2A.

SETUP

1. Place Topsy Turtle within reach of

all players.

2. Each player takes 2 of each colour

block (red, green and blue).

3. Keep your blocks within easy

reach and place any extra blocks

out of play.

GAMEPLAY

1. The youngest player goes first.

Play then proceeds to the left.

2. Slide the ON/OFF switch located

on the underside of Topsy Turtle to

the ON position.

3. After the short introduction, press

the raised scale on Topsy’s shell to
begin play. See Figure 3.

4. Topsy calls out a colour, and

begins moving his legs up and
down. Insert a block of the colour
called under one of Topsy’s

raised feet. (For example: If Topsy

calls out “Blue,” place a blue
block under one of his raised

feet.) If Topsy calls out “Any

colour,” place any colour block
under one of Topsy’s feet.

5. When Topsy stops moving, your
turn is over.

6. If Topsy falls over during your turn, you must gather all of the fallen blocks
and add them to your pile.

7. Play continues until one player has placed all of his/her blocks under

Topsy’s feet.

NOTE: You can only use 1 hand to place a block, but if you’re quick, you may

be able to place more than one block of the same colour under Topsy’s feet

during the same turn. Also, if you think Topsy might topple, on your turn you

may adjust the blocks under his feet to keep from falling. (Remember: Your
turn ends when Topsy stops moving.)

Alternative Game (Cooperative): In this game, players work together to get

Topsy Turtle to the top of all of the colour blocks. If he does fall, it’s up ok.
Just put all the blocks back into a pile and begin again. When you get him
on top of all of the blocks, everybody wins!

WINNING

The first player to place all of his/her

blocks under Topsy’s feet wins. The
winner then presses the raised scale
and on Topsy’s back to hear his special
winning message.

RESTORAGE

Carefully remove the legs from Topsy

Turtle as shown in Figure 4. Return all
contents to the box and close lid for

easy storage.

and tighten the screw.
