BC Libro
AN INTERACTIVE SMART BOOK. A BAHAYCOBO PROJECT.
Presenting BahayCobo’s first project: BC Libro. screenless play with a smart toy and interactive book.
An interactive smart toy designed to keep your little one busy with different games, stories, music and other activities. Using this toy, your child can enjoy learning new things while playing interactive games without using a smartphone (screenless play). It can be tailored to your little one’s needs. You can download different activities that you see fit for your child. BC Libro is an affordable one-time purchase with unlimited content as long as the community of content creators is active.
Motivations
- Screen addiction of children
- Global pandemic of myopia (eye-related problem) and speech delays in children
- Low literacy score of Filipino children (Math, English, Mother tongue, Science, and etc.)
- Help in the new normal education (modular and online)
- Current available smart toys are too expensive
- Smartphone are preferred over Screenless smart toy
- Current smart toys have static content (minimal or no updates)
- Cannot justify cost vs benefits
- Majority of educational tools require a computer or stable Internet connection
How do we solve these problems?
The BC Libro is our solution to these problems. One of the goals is to create a community of creators to create content for this screenless play. In this way, children have access to more meaningful contents that are tailored for them and as long as the community is active, the content is endless. Boredom will be out of the picture and so is the screen.
Parents want the best for their children but the current available smart toys are either too expensive or have very limited content. Expanding the activities would mean buying new sets. BC Libro is designed to be affordable for every Filipino child.

Are you a parent who wants to “detox” your child from the screen?
BC Libro screenless smart toy is designed to be affordable for every Filipino family.
As a 21st century parent, our problems are different from what our parents had when we were growing up but we still have the same goal– to raise our children the best way possible. With the advent of the internet and the smartphone, a new problem arises: screen-dependency. The solution is a screenless smart toy that can ignite children’s imagination and would keep their interest in learning.
BC Libro will not be as expensive as the current available smart toys in the market since BahayCobo’s goal is to help every child reach their full potential by giving them access to BC Libro.
