nature
Bilibo was developed in 2001 by the Swiss designer Alex Hochstrasser. It is a shell made of impact-resistant plastic, which is produced in six different colors and offers a wide range of play options for children from 2 years of age. The shape was designed so that children of different ages can sit in it and control their movements by putting their hands and feet on the outside.
use
Depending on the level of development and interests of the children, Bilibo is used as a prop for role and symbol games , filled with objects, sand or water and emptied or piled up again. When children balance, swing or turn on the shell, motor skills and a sense of balance are trained.
