Even when the little ones think they are too old to take a nap, a rest time is an essential... and many days that rest may turn into a nap. Having a nap kit, that holds their blanket, and pillow securely in their own bag, is a great way to make sure their belongings stay together and stay clean. These free patterns will guide you through basic items needed for nap time at daycare, pre-school a babysitter or kindergarten nap time. If you have an embroidery machine, now is an excellent time to use it.... to embroider the child's name on everything!
Materials Needed:
- Fabric - For this project I choose one yard of Polar Fleece and one yard of coordinating cotton print. This allows enough fabric for two pillowcases.
- One and a half yards of cord for the drawstring.
- One travel pillow -- A travel pillow is a small pillow that measures approximately 10" by 14" or 12" by 16 or 18". They can be found anywhere pillow forms are sold and even in many drugstores.
- Thread
- Optional - Yarn to hand sew a blanket stitch on the edge of the Polar Fleece blanket
