Indestructibles

Synopsis: 

“Indestructibles is the trusted series for easing little ones into story time. Beloved by babies and their parents, Indestructibles are built for the way babies “read” (i.e., with their hands and mouths) and are:

• Rip Proof—made of ultra-durable tight-woven material
• Waterproof—can be chewed on, drooled on, and washed!
• Emergent Literacy Tool—bright pictures and few or no words encourage dialogic reading
• Portable—lightweight books can go anywhere, perfect for the diaper bag and for travel
• Safe for Baby—meets ASTM safety standards”

Review:

These books are some of the coolest on the market! And they are the perfect books to share with parents who are wary of seeing books as toys (afraid their little ones will rip books apart). These books can be ripped or torn and when your baby slobbers all over them or chews them up – they good as new! You can even wash these books in the dishwasher if you need to.

From personal experience – these books are all they say and more! I seriously tried to rip one of the pages – no luck! Then I licked the front cover a bunch of times – still as good as new. And finally, I crinkled the cover in my fist and although the cover now is a little “rumpled” the material is more like a mixture between paper and fabric that makes it truly indestructible.

The three titles I was given to review – The Itsy Bitsy Spider; Row, Row, Row Your Boat; and Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. Are absolutely adorable – simple text, bright colorful pictures and short enough to read in almost any setting. What I love about the pictures is that they have a lot going on (but not too much) so that you can point out activities, objects, and other things to extend the story beyond just the well-known rhyme or song.

Each title is around $6 and well-worth the price. They’re perfect for baby showers, or gifts for young kids. Beyond the popular rhymes, there are even more titles to discover – over 30 in all! Plus, if you have even more questions about Indestructibles, check out their website!
