Activity Play Mat

my husband and i know about 7 couples who are expecting children in the next couple months! (talk about baby boom!!) it's been a bit difficult because i'd like to make something homemade but unique for all my friends! i've also had a lot of requests for more baby items, so i thought these activity mats would be a nice addition to the shop! these are oversized blankets with some ribbons that hold links that toys can be attached with. these mats are perfect for tummy time play with baby!  the backside is also a soft minky fabric. the links can be removed and the mats can also be used as large blankets once the baby gets older!

this owl one is now in my shop!

Activity Mat

i'm sure you've been sick of looking at the ugly ol' comforters i've been using for my niece to sit/lay on- i know i am! so i finally got around to making her a little play mat! i was at Joann's the other day and found some remnant flannel in a butterfly and flower design, along with some pink minky fabric. they were both around the same amount of yardage so i thought it'd be perfect to make a blanket for her! when i brought it home, i realized the flannel wasn't as wide so i was way off! but luckily i had some leftover pink swiss dot fabric from other projects (i like the pink swiss dot print for linings in some of my bags). i was able to whip this up within an hour and had it ready for her after she woke up from her nap! the inside has a high loft batting, so it's extra soft- which she needs since our floors are all wood!
