History Bilibo has been developed by the young Swiss designer Alex Hochstrasser along with leading experts. Prof. Remo H Largo, Head of Dept. for Growth & Development at the University Children's Hospital, Zurich, says: "A good toy distinguishes itself through a series of characteristics. It should be as little pre-determined as possible in order to leave much room for the child's imagination and expressiveness. It should allow for various ways to be used. The child is then able to train its motor skills, ideally in different agility games. It uses the toy for its symbol games and builds a house for its puppets and animals. The toy acts as an accessory when playing role games and pretending with other children. Finally, the toy should appeal to children at different ages and accompany them in their development over a long period of time. Bilibo distinguishes itself to a high degree through these characteristics."
