Bluebird Toys plc was a British Toy Company founded by (Sir)Torquil Norman in 1980
The first product produced was the now famous Big Yellow Teapot House. This was one of the first ‘container’ houses which broke away from the traditional architectural style of dolls’ houses in favour of this light and colourful family home. Bluebird Toys are also famous for his Big Red Fun Bus and Big Jumbo Fun Plane, Polly Pocket and the Mighty Max range, as well as the invention of the plastic lunch box.
The company was taken over by the toy giant Mattel in 1998.
