Tucker the Armadillo | StoryGarden Critter

Meet Tucker the Armadillo, a proud and quirky addition to our StoryGarden Critters collection. Based on a beloved StoryPiece from A Bluebonnet Sunset, Tucker has waddled out of the puzzle and into your garden—bringing with him the bold colors of a Texas twilight and the charm of a true Southern traveler.

Each curious cutout is laser-cut from durable 1/8” wood and UV-printed with artwork pulled straight from our jigsaw puzzle featuring blooming bluebonnets and a glowing evening sky. With his distinctive shell pattern and determined stride, Tucker turns flower beds, fences, and garden paths into places of unexpected joy and character.

Tucker is made to last. Sealed for outdoor use and simple to install, this armadillo garden stake slots easily into soil using included ground staples or can be mounted on fences or brick walls with double-sided outdoor tape. Whether he’s peeking out from behind a lavender bush or marching past your back steps, Tucker makes a fun and friendly impression.

Curious but calm, Tucker keeps things low to the ground—he’s happiest among the roots and shadows, soaking in the last golden light of day. If you listen closely, you just might hear him humming a tune passed down from the armadillos of old Hill Country roads.

Each StoryGarden Critter begins its life as a figural StoryPiece in one of our handcrafted wooden puzzles. That means every critter tells a tale and connects to a place. For Tucker, that place is a sun-drenched stretch of bluebonnet-covered Texas soil—now captured forever in the art across his back.

Whether you’re a gardener, a lover of wildlife, or just someone who enjoys a touch of whimsy, Tucker will make your garden feel a little more magical and a lot more personal.
