Now we are on 100% board / cloth books until she is not as obsessed with tearing paper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-on-from-board-books#post-1935863 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 11:21:47 +0000 Mrs. D 1935863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started buying them for her around the two year mark, and she has only damaged one. She probably could have gotten some sooner.<br /> I ran the book air at my school last week, and had to talk a coworker out of buying board books for her 4 year old sister, she was grateful I told her she was more than ready for big kid books. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-on-from-board-books#post-1935830 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 10:46:38 +0000 lovehoneybee 1935830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use both, but despite our best efforts some of the paper ones have been ripped (he get too excited when turning the pages). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-on-from-board-books#post-1935807 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 10:16:48 +0000 catomd00 1935807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done regular books since day 1. Board and cloth books get boring real quick! If she's being super rough with the pages, I just tell her we're all done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-on-from-board-books#post-1935751 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 09:05:01 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1935751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We always did a combo of boh. If she would attempt to get too rough with the pages I would tell her to give the book "nice" &amp; we would pet the page instead. If she did it multiple times she obviously wasn't in to listening to the story so we just did something else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-on-from-board-books#post-1935747 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 09:02:36 +0000 travellingbee 1935747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He just started being able to turn the pegs nicely and have the attention span to listen to a real story in the last few weeks. He's 19 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-on-from-board-books#post-1935743 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 08:52:07 +0000 blackbird 1935743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do regular books now sometimes but she tears the pages when turning them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-move-on-from-board-books#post-1935739 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 08:47:45 +0000 Skadi 1935739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is a little over 9 months old, and of course she's much too young to be able to handle anything but cloth and board books. But I'm wondering just how long it will be until I can read her children's books with regular paper. There are tons of books I love that aren't available in board book format.</p> <p>When did you start reading regular books (closely supervised so they don't get torn in the beginning) to your LO? </p>
