I made the bib with beads years ago for my toddler grand. Easy to put on and long to cover his lap. He loved the fabric print of trucks so was happy to wear it. It has been washed in washer and dried every time he used it. I have used it on every grand since and made a few more. The beads are still the same as when I made it. No breakdown. I used quality fabric so no frays or rips with all the washing. I used the Fairfield Poly Pellets. I have some of the bibs in my car too. Grands and I sometimes have messy snacks in the car.

I was curious about this. I found various opinions online (isn't that always the case?). Some say that they're washable and dryable, others say don't wash in hot water or put in dryer, some say they break down in about 2 years. They claim to be environmentally friendly, but I wonder if that's true. I also wonder what happens in my washer or dryer, or elsewhere in the house, if there's a tear in the fabric and those beads go everywhere.
