The best cloth books for babies are interactive, droolproof, chewable, and generally washable. And the crinklier the better!
I asked BC parents to share their kids’ favorite cloth books. Here are ten of their top picks. I’ve linked to the books at Amazon so you can read more about them.
- Sleepy Bunny (Pat the Bunny Cloth Book)
- Emily’s Day
- Peekaboo, I Love You
- Fluffy Chick and Friends
- My First Taggies Books: I Love You (and other Taggies books)
- Rainbow Fish Gift of Sharing
- Fuzzy Bee and Friends
- Peek-a-Boo Forest
- Squishy Turtle and Friends
- Good Night Teddy
What are your kids’ favorite cloth books?
I’m looking for some cloth books that are quiet. Are any of these non-crinkly?
Baby’s Day by Karen Katz! You put the baby in the high chair, in the bath, to sleep, etc. My 15-month-old ADORES this book! And it only has one crinkly spot (the blanket when you play peek-a-boo with the baby).
The taggies books aren’t as far as I remember. My son has Sweet Dreams and it is not crinkly at all. And Pat the Bunny isn’t crinkly but it has the hanging bunny which could get eaten or wrapped around a finger if you aren’t watching.
Another great, non-crinkly one is Little Panda, by Kimberly Ainsworth. (And it’s eco-friendly too.) My son sleeps with his every night. He also loved Kitty Tails (http://www.amazon.com/Kitty-Tails-Plush-Activity-Toy/dp/B003XNG8H0) when he was younger. Cute cats, plus lots of tails with different textures to grab and chew.
They aren’t exactly cloth books but we really like “indestructibles” http://www.indestructiblesinc.com/
They look and feel like paper but are chew-proof and washable.
