subject: Blankets Are Great Decorative Items [print this page] Country decor removes us from the frustrations and speed of today to the more simple times of our self-reliant great grandparents. People in those days took their independence for granted, crafting from the natural materials around them and raising livestock. Whatever they needed they simply made. Hand crafting was a part of everyday life as a means of survival in years past. Handmade candles, baskets, wool blankets, hand crafted wood, punched tin, and hooked rugs are just a few of the items that make up country home decor today.
Toddler blankets are hard to find. Most blankets are either baby blankets, which are too small or adult blankets that are too large. People usually use throws to cover a toddler while sleeping but they are often not available in fun kid friendly designs. Here is a simple inexpensive solution to the problem.
