What is the Difference Between a Toddler Blanket and Baby Blanket?
Most people will admit to having a favorite blanket they like to curl up under on cold days, but to a small child, a favorite blanket may provide a sense of security and comfort rather than just warmth. Nearly all infants start out with baby blankets and whether they are store bought receiving blankets or handmade knitted blankets, baby blankets are put to good use the first year of life. While the baby blanket serves a practical use, as a child grows into a toddler, he or she may adopt a favorite blanket and even give it a pet name. As a toddler blanket, it takes on a whole new purpose. Store bought baby blankets are not typically large enough to completely cover a toddler, rendering them rather pointless for serving as added warmth. However, because many children do become attached to their baby blanket, it would be inconsiderate to take it away in exchange for a larger toddler blanket. In many cases, parents elect to purchase toddler bedding and larger blankets for practical warmth
