Bilibo is a new kind of product - packed with a whole lot of fun.  An award-winning toy designed in Switzerland, the Bilibo’s simple shell structure is open for a wide range of interpretations and is only limited by your child’s imagination.  They can use it to be a turtle, pat it like a drum, fill it, stack it, spin it…the opportunities are endless.   For more information and to watch a video of the Bilibo in action click here.

The prize package from Brain Candy Toys includes one Bilibo and one Bilibo Mini.  To enter, visit Brain Candy Toys on Facebook (be sure to "like" them as well) or their store in Bedford and then post a comment on this blog (below) telling us your favourite product.
