Bilibo for blogging. Too bad it won't fit on my behind.

bilibo.jpgYou have not lived until you’ve heard a kid fart in a Bilibo! How’s that for “intuitive game creation”!

I have to say, though, that I get a little irritated by toys that tout themselves as open-ended. Like kids need vague toys in order to understand that, hey, they can play with it any way they want to.

My boys are nuts, and they find off-label uses for every single toy in our house. Something’s not a toy? No problem there. They don’t need to be told to get creative with their toys, that’s just what kids do.

I do really like this Bilibo thing, I guess it just touched off a little something in my brain… Hey, it even encouraged MY creativity and sparked this blog post. That’s one hell of a toy.

    Forgive my ignorance but what is it? What does it do?

    Izzy, it is a hard plastic thing that looks kind of like one of those Saarinen / Eames airport chairs without the metal legs.

    Ooh, I want one! I think I know some kids who will know just what to do with it! Question — will it fit a mom-ish size butt too?

    Hey Karen, unless you have a kid sized behind I don’t think so.
