ASSEMBLY
The turtle legs are not inter-
changeable. 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If Topsy’s head becomes detached, it
can be reattached by pushing the
clasp on the back of his head over the
post in the neck opening of his shell,
and snapping into place.
TO REPLACE BATTERIES
Make sure the ON/OFF switch on the
electronic console is in the OFF position.
Then loosen the screw on the battery
compartment, located on the underside of the console, and remove the
door. Insert 4 AA-size batteries (we recommend alkaline), making sure to
align the + and – symbols with the markings in the plastic. Replace the door
and tighten the screw.
