What the??

Sometimes I simply love putting something new in the classroom with out explanation, and have the tots figure out what to do with that object!
I have had this "Bilibo" for a few years and it always confounds the tots. It's a rocker - chair - bowl, whatever the tots can imagine. It also comes in a small hand held version for what ever you wish it to be!

At first the tots just stood around the Bilibo - not sure what to make of it.

Then one brave tot took a seat!

The rockin' and rollin' began!

This became a fun experience to repeat again and again!


Yup it's a keeper!

This is a great toy for gross motor movement.
 It takes a lot of muscle coordination to get this thing going in a fluid manner.
It's durable - hard plastic, that can be used indoors or outdoors - a plus!

    1. Not one of my 'finds' - I wish it was - you know I love a bargain - but I did find it from one of the toy supply places I have purchased from in the past. To find them simply google 'Bilibo'.

  2. I have three of them. I bought one and was not sure how it would be used. When I did, I bought two more. I have a picture of three children sitting in them side-by-side as if they are lounging with friends. They are great!
