Blankie Blankets

Anyone know how to purchase a blanket from Blankets & Beyond (bought one at Walmart, need a second).?

I bought my daughter a polka dot blanket with a pink backing at Walmart. The brand is Blankets & Beyond and the tag says Montreal, Canada. I don't want to have only one blankie for her (I've heard all the horror stories of losing them, having to wash them at bedtime, etc). My local Walmart still has a few, but they have a blue or brown backing on them. I've looked on Walmart.com and tried to search for a website for Blankets & Beyond with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions?

Go to http://www.ebay.com and in the search box type in Blankets and Beyond and there are so many there. It will not give me a link to show you the entire page.

Kids loving their blanket so much?

Every parent understands that their child needs the comfort of their blanket each night when they go to sleep. While most of them do know and accept this fact, not all of them are aware of the reason for the attachment of the kids to their blankets. There have been a number of studies that have been conducted in this field to try and understand the affinity of the child to its blanket. Let us try and understand the results of studies and the reasons for the popularity of the blankets among kids of all age groups.

First of all, the blanket provides a sense of comfort and security. This is the feeling the child associates with its mother right from the time it arrives into this world. Hence, as the child grows it looks for the same level of comfort and security from the other objects around it. This is one of the fundamental reasons for the child to prefer the blanket.

In addition to providing these two benefits, the child also feels warm when wrapped with the blanket. This is another feeling associated with the mother when she hugs her child. Blankets like giraffe blankets have been designed keeping in mind the needs to the child. The fabric used for these blankets are chosen with care to ensure the child does not experience any discomfort. Naturally, the child develops an affinity to objects that keep it snug and warm and does not irritate the delicate skin in any way.

The chenille blankets are a rage among the little ones. The material is akin to the feel of the mother. A child needs the presence of his mother when he goes to sleep. These blankets offer the child the feeling of having their mother around them when they fall asleep. There are so many qualities of these blankets that are associated with the mother who is an important person is the child's life which makes it a necessity for your little one.

Child psychologists, who have conducted many studies in this regard, say that children always look towards certain objects to provide them with a sense of well being. This is the reason when children are involved in accidents or any other mishaps they are given the toy or blanket of their choice for company. This helps them recover fast and return to normalcy faster than expected. For many little ones, just having the security blanket by their side gives them a feeling of all things being under control.

In a surprising discovery, the research that was conducted by Richard H Passen and his team at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee revealed that children liked their security blanket because it helped them cope with newer changes in life and helps in their learning. In fact, blankets of multiple colors are the best way to get children to learn the names of the colors and recognize their easily.

Kids, probably like all of us adults, like the feeling of being safe and kept warm and snuggled at all times. It is no wonder then, that the security blanket becomes an indispensible object for them.
