Bilibo

The award winning toy for children ages 2-7 made in Switzerland. Bilibo is a new kind of toy - the elementary shells leave room for the child‘s imagination. Instead of imposing a specific play pattern, Bilibo is open for a wide range of interpretations and encourages the children to invent their own games, to play and have fun in an active and creative way. Indoors and outdoors, in the sand-pit, at the water or even in the snow - Bilibo is full of surprises...

Bilibo is a companion for children from the first year onward and inspires a large variety of playing behaviours. According to their age and interests, children will use and interpret the shells in many different ways. The soft, round shapes and strong colours stimulate the senses and the child‘s innate curiosity. They beg to be touched and handled. Toddlers will move them around, fill them with objects, with sand or water and empty them again. The shells can be aligned or stacked in many ways. Like three-dimensional puzzle pieces, two shells are joined to form a sphere – a friendly face with a broad smile. Playfully the children train their sense of space as well as hand-eye coordination.

When growing older, children will discover new ways of using the shells. Rocking and spinning for instance are great fun and help develop motor skills and the child’s sense of balance. Role-playing and make-believe games are vital for the child‘s social development and powers of imagination. Again Bilibo shines as a wonderful accessory and is swiftly turned into a cradle for dolls, a turtle shell, a drum, a cooking pot, a ship or a hill with caves giving shelter to toy animals... The imagination of children knows no limits...
