What's your view on children using books for things other than looking at?
I've got a little boy at the moment who uses the board books as ramps. I usually stop him and give him other things to use (cardboard boxes, pieces of wood etc), but am I stopping his creativity by not letting him use the books?
I think it's fair enough when I stop them from standing on books, but wonder if I'm being too harsh stopping them from using them in other ways.
I'm interested in what you all think.
