Does anyone remember Lamb Chops? Artist Sherri Lewis used to have a children’s TV show where she had wonderful conversations with her puppets! My favorite was Lamb Chop because she was so spunky and curious! These Lamb Blankies are huggable blankets down-sized (14.5″x24″) for use as a security blanket for baby or young toddler.

Young children can become very attached to something that reminds them of the safe and secure environment of home. I’m thinking of the children who are in daycare and usually bring their own bedding from home.

I heard a story the other day of a young toddler who would not go to sleep at daycare without her mother’s sweater. Her father had taken her to daycare that morning and had forgotten the special sweater. The child was inconsolable! Finally, they had to call mom (who worked in the same building as the daycare) and she came rushing downstairs. But not having time to go home for the sweater she quickly asked the daycare workers if they had a spare blouse in their lockers. They found her a blouse and she gave her own sweater top to her yound toddler and put on the spare blouse! The child was appeased and there was peace!

If you have a child in daycare you’re probably already doing whatever you can to make their time less stressful. These personalized Lamb Blankies by Personal Creations can be a part of your nighttime routine where you and your child cuddle together with their blankie while you read them a bed time story. The next morning at daycare, your child will have a sweet and soothing reminder of home when he/she cuddles up with their Lamb Blankie for nap time.

Available at personalcreations.com for $29.95, lambs come in blue, pink or ivory with satin bos and trim. Each is embroidered with child’s name (up to 11 characters). It’s made of acrylic fabric for easy wash and dry care.

Neither of my girls has ever been particularly attached to a blankie. Even so, I remember the trials of having blankets fall out of carseats and strollers, usually directly into a mud puddle. Z Daisy Blankie Bungies appear to be the perfect solution to this problem. These cute little clips attach to a stroller or carseat on one end and your child’s favorite blanket on the other. They come in a number of fun colors and patterns. A set of two retails for $20–a small price to pay to keep a blanket in place and free from mud! You can check out the entire line at www.zdaisy.com.
