Blankets

Blankets are one thing that are terribly taken for granted of. They are amazing devices that can serve so many purposes. They can keep you warm and can be layered. They can can vary in so many ways. Blankets are awesome.

There are a lot of different kinds of blankets. There are comforters, sheets, baby blankets, big blankets, small blankets, picnic blankets, blankets that are water proof, thin blankets, thick blankets, rough blankets and soft ones. One of the best things about blankets is that they can have so many different designs. You can make blankets by getting two big pieces of fabric and tying off knots along the sides. You can quilt blankets out of shirts or you can quilt blankets with each square representing something important and relevant.

Blankets can also be used for many things. On cold nights it is best to layer your blankets and sleep in a mess of fabric and comfort. Of course it is always awkward when you wake up and realize you got hot during the night, because you're missing your socks and maybe more. Besides keeping warm though, blankets can also be used to make forts. It's so fun to find different items in a room to place blankets on or around to build rooms out of the blankets, and hang out inside of it. You can use blankets to hide when you're playing Hide-and-Seek too, as long as you make sure to breathe with your tummy and not your shoulders so you won't get caught as easily. Blankets can also be used as superhero capes when playing around, and as covers for your windows when you want it to be darker when the shades won't do it. Blankets can also be used as walls when you want to be separated from something else but are confined to one area.

Blankets are great, and they are used in so many ways and fashions. They can be fancy, decorative, or have a picture on them. There are even ways you can put your own chosen picture on a blanket and ordered online. Blankets are taken for granted daily, so appreciate them! (361)
