These blanket buddies are super soft and easy for little hands to grab and have such a cute
face. They're one of those things that sometimes comes with a newborn layette set. They
are tiny enough that they are safe to put in baby's crib, without being a
suffocation hazard.Babies love to cuddle them to get to sleep. These would make awesome Christmas present for new baby or baby
shower gifts, and are really really quick to make. Two hours maybe at the
most.!
