Garden Snail is so soft and fluffy, and he has a very nice swirl on the side of his shell. We were excited to add him to our stuffed-animal-snail house collection, and he is a wonderful addition! The green sprout on his back is adorable & he was excited to join the Photosynthesis Club in our sunroom! One small critique that doesn't impact his perfection, of course: he is slightly wobbly & doesn't necessarily stay upright on his foot without a little help.
