Tuttu Turtle – Pull-Along Toy with Rotating Shell
Meet Tuttu Turtle, the charming wooden pull-along toy with a mesmerising rotating shell that captivates children and adults alike. As your little one pulls Tuttu along, the shell spins in a unique motion that encourages active play and naturally refines motor coordination skills.

Traditional Craftsmanship & Natural Materials
Handcrafted using traditional lacware toy-making techniques passed down through generations, each turtle is coloured with natural plant-based dyes including turmeric, madder roots, lime, indigo, etc. These dyes are mixed with lac (a natural resin) and applied through heat friction, then buffed with pine leaves to create a beautiful, smooth finish. Made from sustainably sourced wood, every piece is unique.

Ethiqana is starting an artisanal revival in the world of children’s toys and other homewares and accessories.
This social enterprise works with small artisan producers, known as Ethiqana’s Artisan Heroes, carefully selected based on the eco-friendliness of their methods and the need for creative and economic empowerment.
These include the famous toymakers of Channapatna, India, who create colourful, tactile and durable wooden toys following fair trade values. These toys are 100% natural, handmade from sustainably grown wood and coloured with natural non-toxic dyes from plant-based sources.
A huge part of Ethiqana’s mission is to preserve traditional, nearly-extinct art and craft techniques. Many of the toys are made using methods passed down through generations of artisans over the course of 200 years.
By preserving these traditional techniques, Ethiqana challenges modern manufacturing methods and provides sustainable livelihoods to the artisans.
They also strive to give their Artisan Heroes opportunities to travel and connect with a worldwide audience. This helps makers evolve their art and practices, which is key to preserving them for the future.
