13.02.2025
Carnival is just around the corner and creativity knows no bounds when it comes to costumes. Binabo, the flexible construction game made from natural materials, offers a unique way to design your disguise. 
Use the colorful chips to create patterns and shapes that can be combined to create impressive costumes. Whether you want to dress up as a superhero with an individual mask or as a knight with your own knight's armor - with Binabo you can build your own disguise. 
The chips are light, stable and can be reconnected again and again, so you can adapt your costume again and again. For carnival, you can let your creativity run wild with Binabo and create a costume that not only stands out, but also tells a story. It's so easy to make your carnival outfit an eye-catcher and a topic of conversation among the celebrants.

Getting started: bracelets, headbands and hats

Connect the Binabo chips into a chain. Now connect the outer ends and you get a circle! With the number of chips you can vary the size and you can build colorful bracelets and/or hairbands! Customize this, for example with several rows or a middle bar - this way you get a Binabo hat (see photo). The next step would be the pointed Binabo magic hat. You can easily build this according to the pattern in the photo or like our school cones.
