Item Description

A $50 gift certificate to Red Rover Kids in Stillwater, MN and a yellow Bilibo toy!

"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, at the sand pit, at the water or even in the snow-- Bilibo is full of surprises..."

BabyGeared.com says:

"Magically attractive and deceptively simple, Bilibo's iconic shell shape and bright colors prove immediately appealing to young children. Developed by Swiss designer Alex Hochstrasser for Active People in collaboration with childhood development experts from University Children's Hospital in Zurich, Bilibo's unique form arouses curiosity, stimulates the senses, engages the imagination, and encourages creativity. Both boys and girls can find virtually unlimited ways to play with Bilibos...from rocking, spinning, and sitting to hiding under, carrying with, and peeking through. At home, at the park, at the beach, in the water, and even in the snow, Bilibo provides hours of open-ended play.

Bilibo is highly acclaimed by childhood learning specialists and toy experts in both Europe and the US. It has been featured in museum exhibitions and has received numerous design awards including the Swiss Federal Award for Design (2001), Dr. Toy Best Active Products Award (2002), and the ID Magazine Design Distinction Award (2002)."
