Monchhichi Print Kids Throw Blanket

A soft printed throw made for a child's room, where a blanket has to survive being dragged from the bed to the sofa to the back seat of the car and back again before lunchtime. The brushed face stays comfortable against skin, the print gives the room some character without a full redecoration, and there are two designs to choose between depending on the bedding already in there.

Two sizes cover the two jobs children actually give a blanket. The 127 by 153 cm is the travelling one: light enough for a child to carry themselves, big enough for a nap on the sofa, and small enough to fold into a bag for a sleepover or a long drive. The 153 by 204 cm stays put and covers a single bed properly, working as a bedspread through autumn and an extra layer in winter.

Care is deliberately simple, because a blanket like this needs washing often. A cool machine cycle and a low tumble dry keep the surface soft and the print clear, and the fabric dries quickly enough to be back on the bed the same day. As with any blanket in a child's room, use it with adult supervision, and keep loose blankets out of a cot or crib for infants under twelve months.
