This tutorial from Prudent Baby for making a nap mat is highly detailed and includes some great tips for adding bias tape and managing a sewing project that gets bulky at times. The mat includes a fleece blanket and pillow, and rolls up for easy transportation. It’s a great back-to-school project for preschoolers, and a nice way to send your tot off with a special handmade something that will bring them comfort at nap time away from home. [via ohdeedoh]
