Kid's bath products are known to be adorned in vibrant color palettes and cartoon characters but it is rarely the case that the packaging is sustainable. Bebo, designed by Monica Bhyrappa, is a concept that seeks to change that while also delivering an enjoyable and stress-free bathing experience for toddlers.
Bebo proposes a new approach to standard kid's bath products like shampoo, gel soap, powder, and lotion. Rather than opting for conventional plastic containers that often contribute to waste, Bebo offers a dual-purpose solution by crafting containers in playful animal shapes. This ingenious design allows these containers to serve as both functional bath essentials and entertaining toys for toddlers.
Despite the visually appealing animal shapes, the design takes into account the potential risks associated with children mistaking the containers for toys. Thus, the design incorporates features that prevent accidental opening or spilling of the contents during play.
