For some tots back-to-school means, “get ready for naptime,” since some schools require a midday snooze. This is especially tough on our littlest ones if this is their first school adventure ever. It can be downright unsettling, and not too restful. Having just the right pillow and blanket for naptime makes all the difference in the world. And it should be a set that kids are attached to, to ensure they feel comfortable and secure enough to fall asleep when away from home.
I just sent my kids to a summer school that required a nap, and allowing them to pick out a sleep set they love made them feel like they were taking a part of “home” to school with them. I even let them sleep with their new nap set for a week before sending them off, just to make sure they were properly attached to it.
The Pretty Princess Nap Sack by The Piggy Story set is sure to inspire restful sleep (well, maybe not for most boys!). The cotton sack, with two adjustable straps and a patch pocket, comes filled with a pillow and pink fleece blanket. The print features happy, dancing, frolicking princesses (who don’t look too ready to sleep!). But between the comfy pillow and snuggly blankie, your tot should be able to nestle down for a few sweet dreams – and not miss home too much! At Barneys New York for $38.
