— March 26, 2013 — Eco
Being able to buy eco-friendly toys that don't promote violence or use harmful plastics isn't a luxury readily available to everyone around the world, but thankfully designers like Hakan Gursu are making toys like these wacky wooden creatures that finally give parents and children positive and imagination-building alternatives to the products they buy and play with.

Looking more like they are based on a twisted design out of Tim Burton movie, Hakan Gursu's creations are malleable wooden structures that allow and encourage children to combine these funky creatures' body parts and create a plethora of custom beasts.

Made from all-natural sustainable materials that are recyclable, Hakan Gursu's funky wooden creations even come decorated with water-based acrylic paint that is specifically made for wooden surfaces.
