Simple Nap mat pattern?

bluejetta · May 2013

I know I can use the google but was curious if any of the crafty mamas have made (or found) a simple pattern or place to purchase a simple nap mat for use at daycare or for travel.

N sleeps in a PNP at daycare three days a week and hasn't tried to climb out yet or outgrown the size. But I know it is around the corner and want to find something to help make her mat cozy.

I dread the transition only because it means her nap time moves an hour later and she is an early riser (and early to bed) but we'll see.

If I was getting one specific for daycare, I'd get one like this:

easy to clean.

I don't have any suggestions for patterns, but I just wanted to let you know that before now I never imagined B would take a nap on a mat. She recently transitioned to the toddler room and I have been sending sheets and blankets thinking they had her in a PnP. Well one day, FIL (who picks her up) said "I wonder how they get all those kids to sleep on a mat at one time?" So she's been napping on a mat for a few months now. I think the fact that all the kids are laying on the mats encourages her to stay as well. She's the youngest in the class.

yes, when L moved up to the toddler room, she slept on a cot. The group mentality really helps them to do what they are supposed to. She had no problems sleeping on the cot at school.
