A Unique Use for Baby Blankets for your growing baby or child from a mom of five

For my 5th baby, a friend gave us a homemade fleece blanket.  It is the kind that has two pieces of fleece material tied together, creating fringes all the way around.  I love it because it is so soft and warm.  I line her cradle with it right now because it is so cold outside.  The best part is, as she gets bigger, she will still be able to use it.

My older kids have they same type of blankets someone had given them for Christmas two years ago. We’ve used them a ton in our travels.  They’re big enough to cover them, but small enough that everyone can grab their own blanket and get cozy in the van.

A unique way I use blankets is for quiet time for my kids.  They each get our their blanket and put it on the floor and sit on them to have 30 minutes of quiet time.  The blanket is a visual representation of this time to them.  This is a great way to teach my children how to be content in quiet and a great time for mommy to have quiet time too.  There are some pictures of the quiet time below.
