Bedtime Prayer Blanket for Little Ones and Their Families

Bedtime Prayer Blanket shows NOW I LAY ME down to Sleep, a short evening prayer set in soft blue and gold lettering. The words I pray the Lord my SOUL TO KEEP follow as a gentle reminder for a child at rest. It suits families who say prayers at bedtime and anyone who wants a quiet keepsake.

Note: the pillow shown in the photo are for styling only and not included.

A closer look at the print

The prayer runs across the blanket in several lines, with each phrase set in its own size and color. Some words are blue and others gold, so the eye moves naturally from one line to the next. Small stars in blue, yellow and pink scatter between the lines, giving the page a light, starry feel.

A white dove drifts on the left side, while a teddy bear rests on a pink-tipped cloud near the top right corner. Below the verse, a bunny sleeps on a crescent moon, and a soft rainbow arcs in the lower right. Two sleepy stars sit together on a cloud in the middle.

The lettering mixes bold and rounded styles, which keeps the prayer easy to read in dim light. Together the figures tell a simple bedtime story from the first line to the last.

Who will love it

Parents and grandparents who pray with children at night will notice the verse first. A child who has learned the prayer may even read the opening line aloud. Godparents often look for a gift that connects to faith and daily routine, and this blanket fits that need.

The Bedtime Prayer Blanket is also a good match for Sunday school teachers and nursery workers who want a calm item in a quiet reading corner. When the blanket is draped over a crib rail or bed, the prayer stays in view as the room settles for sleep.

Occasions and picks

Baptisms, christenings and first communion celebrations are natural moments to give this blanket, since the prayer and the angels fit those days well. It also makes a warm baby shower or new-arrival gift.

Choose the Fleece Throw Blanket or Sherpa Throw Blanket for a soft layer, or the Fleece Blanket or Sherpa Blanket for a size suited to a bed. The printed design is the only color option.
