Did you know that you can buy baby books that are truly baby proof? They’re called Indestructibles!
I’ve been slowly going through all of our stored baby stuff trying to figure out what I can reuse for baby #3. Amazingly, even after two kids, most of the clothes, blankets and toys are still in good shape. The little baby books though…they are shameful!
After going through two babies, who became toddlers and, unbeknownst to me, have moved on to being preschoolers, most of the books lining our little bookshelf are missing covers and pages. And those books that managed to keep their pages in tact have an array of little teeth marks outlining each page.
So, all you parents out there, how do you keep those baby books looking nice (or at least readable) through the destructive and teething baby years?
Well, Indestructibles might just have the answer so many of us are looking for!
Indestructibles, founded by a mother of triplets, are books designed with your baby in mind! The paperlike material of these books cannot be ripped, torn or punctured by your little pre-reader and they are 100% safe and nontoxic. Your baby can hold, pull, chew, bend, and drool all over this book and, if the book starts to get a little messy, simply throw the book into the washing machine or dish washer. That’s right… these books are washing machine and dishwasher safe!
While you are loving how baby-resistant these books are, your baby is going to love how bright and colorful they are! Each book features amazing and vibrant illustrations that are sure to keep your baby entertained. What’s missing from the books? Words! The words are specifically left out of the books so the parent can make up the story as they read to baby.
Indestructibles are available in nine different titles:
Wiggle! March! Creep! Crawl! Flutter! Fly! Plip-Plop Pond! Jungle Rumble! Mama and Baby! Mary Had a Little Lamb Hey Diddle Diddle Humpty Dumpty
Each 7 inch by 7 inch book retails for $4.95 ($5.95 Can.) and are available wherever books are sold including Amazon.
While I haven’t put our Indestructibles book in the hands of a baby yet, it has been “tested” by my less-than-gentle toddler and preschooler. So far, I can already tell these books are amazingly tough! I am so excited to stock up on more Indestructibles for baby #3. They are perfect not only at home but also to keep in my purse or diaper bag. These books also make great baby shower gifts and, if you already have a little one at home or are expecting one soon, the Indestructibles are amazing stocking stuffers.

I would love to win these. My 17 month old is so terrible on books…chewing, bitting, etc., but he loves books. His siblings weren’t much better. So there are very few that have made it to him. I would love to have these for him.

Books,books..the best giveaway!
We just had baby number 3 and our books are pretty sad. Thrown a few away even. So I understand. I posted the Christmas Giveaways 2010 button on my blog too.
These are perfect for my son who can destroy pretty much anything!
These books would make great stocking stuffers for my not so gently one year old:) Books that will last are hard to find in a house with little ones so these sound like a great product!
These would make great baby shower gifts.
My little one LOVES books and these would be perfect for her 🙂
I LOVE this idea. My daughter has gone through so many books already, and she is much gentler than my 7 month old son… I don’t see many of our books lasting through his muncher! I would love to win one of these!

With our second baby due in just a couple of weeks, these would be great! I know that big sister would love to read them to him and when he’s able, he can explore them himself.

This is great. My little guy loves to chew books. He has chewed all the corners off of his board books. I would love to give these a try and put them to the test with my little book eater.
This is an awesome idea! I love reading books to my baby and even though she’s not old enough to hold them herself yet, I know they will end up like every other heavily used by a baby book! I love that you can put these in the washing machine or dishwasher! Fantastic idea!

These are so cool! Love the video, too, because that’s EXACTLY what bebes do to books! The first place my Grandbebe Girl Makayla takes her books is straight to her mouth! Machine-washable, too – no pages ripping – and we can make up the stories as we go. Thanks for the chance to win!

If my grandson is going to be anythink like his Daddy, he needs these books. I teach at a high school and I am a firm believer that reading is very importantt. You need to start reading to babies at a very young age, and when they get older it will help them achieve better in school. Great gift!!
