I'd say either are fine; you should buy the ones you like best, regardless of material! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-too-old-for-cloth-books#post-441666 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 16:06:45 +0000 T-Mom 441666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought mostly board books for DD after she hit age 1, but actually there was one elmo cloth book that she still wanted read to her at age 3. It had a story and little sewed on pieces that you manipulate as the story is told. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-too-old-for-cloth-books#post-441267 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 13:07:44 +0000 Mrsbells 441267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>THanks!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-too-old-for-cloth-books#post-441241 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 13:00:23 +0000 autumnlove 441241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would buy more board books at that age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-too-old-for-cloth-books#post-441224 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 12:53:49 +0000 T.H.O.U. 441224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just get some of the cheaper board books. She had no interest in cloth books after about 10-12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-too-old-for-cloth-books#post-440926 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 11:00:50 +0000 Weagle 440926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: They're starting to look a little worn, but I only let her play with the cheaper, small board books anyway. We can easily and cheaply replace those as needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-too-old-for-cloth-books#post-440920 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:58:52 +0000 Bao 440920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say both are fine, but if you want to get more use I'd go with board books :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-too-old-for-cloth-books#post-440918 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:58:30 +0000 Mrsbells 440918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: How do the board books hold up to chewing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-too-old-for-cloth-books#post-440914 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:57:04 +0000 Weagle 440914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 7mo loves both. At this point she mainly chews on them, but she's pretty equal opportunity about it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-age-is-too-old-for-cloth-books#post-440861 Mon, 10 Dec 2012 10:38:38 +0000 Mrsbells 440861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to get more books for my 7.5 month old. She currently has 2 cloth books. Should I get more cloth or should I get board books at this stage? </p>
