Last minute gift idea...

Receiving blankets aren't just for babies.
I know many of you have toddlers in your life. 
Grab a yard of their favorite character print in a soft cozy flannel.
(This Christmas it's Paw Patrol for us.) 
Add another yard of cuddly minky. Sew wrong sides together. 
Reverse. Sew along the perimeter and ta-da:
Toddlers love to use them for tents, capes, and even a nap if mom is lucky!

Update:

Here's our little grand guy using his on Christmas day with his new Paw Patrol couch! 
(Yes, he is entering that silly stage as he purposely stuck cereal in his nose as I took a picture!)
