I have a two-year-old and he is quite a busybody. He's very curious and always on the lookout for something to hold, squeeze, chew on, and flail about. I give him this fabric book to play with and he seems to enjoy it. It is very soft and colorful. I have put it through the washing machines and I have not seen any issues with stitching coming loose or corners fraying. It's a very nice little sensory experience, your baby will enjoy it!
