Tippy the Turtle is a balance game in which players attempt to place colorful barrels on Tippy's tummy. A roll of the special die tells you which kind of barrel (small, medium, or large) you must place on top of precariously balanced turtle. If your barrel causes Tippy to tumble, you lose!

The game includes 15 wooden barrels in three colors, a single wooden die, a cloth tote bag for storage, and Tippy the Turtle himself.
