I was feeling very organized in regards to the bulk of my back to school shopping until I found out very last second that each of the boys needed nap mats for school. It pained me a touch to know I could have been searching for just the right mats all summer, if I'd just gotten that memo sooner.
I hit etsy.com immediately and clicked around until found a terrific merchant, AlliesNapMats, who said she could get me both designs the boys liked by my close deadline if I made my order that day. Bonus, they were able to be custom monogrammed.
The nap mats are handmade and feature a clever all-in-one attached blanket and pillow design that is exactly what my twin preschoolers needed. At their school each child is expected to take the mats out of a tote and set them up on their designated cot with minimal assistance. They are also suppose to put them away when resting time is done.
These mats arrived today and look beautiful! The attached blankets are made of snuggly fleece and the 1 inch fire retardant inner foam used in the mat itself provides plenty of comfort for a mini nap. Both boys are thrilled with the design themes they chose and can't wait to bring them to school tomorrow. Declan picked the darling black robot print while Cormac had to have the brown dinosaur themed fabric.
