What is it? Bilibo is a new kind of toy. It has been developed by the young Swiss designer, Alex Hochstrasser, in conjunction with leading experts like Prof. Remo H. Largo from the University Childrens hospital in Zurich. Curious? Then read on…

Bilibo is a companion for children from the first year onwards and inspires a large variety of playing behaviors. The soft, round shapes and strong colors stimulate the senses and a child’s innate curiosity. They beg to be touched and handled.

The design of Bilibo is based on extensive research into the playing behavior of preschool children, into the way they treat found objects and use their imagination to create a world of their own. The shells can be aligned or stacked in many ways and 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 a child’s sense of balance.

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, in the water or even in the snow… Bilibo is full of surprises.
