Everyone knows what a porcupine looks like. All needles and gnarly sharpness. You know, like this: Except (as I’m guessing is the case in real life), such a creature rendered in wood doesn’t make for such a smooth experience. So in the interest of not making a 10 MOST DANGEROUS TOYS list, we smoothed out […]
Last time on Throw Back Thursday . . . We dug up an early prototype of a castle bookend. Well, here’s the computer model that preceded it. Pretty neat looking, and probably pretty fun too, but none of them ever made it into production (read more about why in the original post). I’ll ramble on […]
In recognition of Throwback Thursday we post this old prototype. It’s one of about a dozen attempts at creating castle themed bookends. I never figured out how to make them to the level of quality we strive for, and for the price we thought they could sell at. The idea was for the bookends to […]
We have loads of toys here at the Bungalow. After all, we make wooden toys for a living. The Kids here have plenty of the same toys we sell, loads of toy prototypes, and scattered one-offs & specials too impractical to produce for sale.

Happy Bungalow is a family business – Don, Liz, and the Kids.Happy Bungalow makes wood toys – but don’t think grandpa whittling on the back porch, rather – roaring dinosaurs, zooming fast cars, flittering fairies, and the most awesome robots you’ll find. We use only natural wood (no stains) and only make toys we want […]
“Vintage” movie poster: Robot Lords from Cosmic Space. Looks nice, and maybe passably real at a glance. Though we made this one up ourselves. The robots in the poster are renderings of our own wooden robot toys available for purchase in our online toy shop. Pick one up and make some fun of your own.
The day was getting on just fine until the dinosaurs showed up and started turning over cars.Want to have a dinosaurs vs cars matchup in your own home? Well, just head over to our shop and pick up some wood dinosaurs and toy cars.
