bilibo, the toy box
Innovative, right? All it is is molded polyethylene plastic that is 100 percent recyclable. Its like playing with a box…but one has to pay close to $30 for it. Ironic, eh? Worth every penny? Yes.
According to Growing Tree Toys the Bilibo provides the following developmental benefits: intrapersonal, spatial, logical, and physical. It also encourages manipulative play, dramatic play, and active play.
How?
You can spin it, rock it, drag it, sit in it, use it as a ramp or garage for cars and trains, use it as a step stool, a shell, tunnel…the cool thing is that it sparks the imagination.
Imagine sledding down the hill in this instead of a traditional sled…or digging in the snow…or using it as a snowball shield. Or, better yet…imagine creating a tunnel for cars in the sand or strapping on a tortoise shell for Halloween.
Your innovative child will tote it around the house trying to get into cabinets that he never saw before. Your imaginative child will use it to help build train tunnels. Your organizer will use it for a storage solution…and your seeker will play peek-a-boo.
In 2007 Readers Digest rated Bilibo the world’s best toy stating that “the best games are the ones children create themselves.” It was also Winner of the Good Toy Award in 2006.
