Now I Lay Me Blanket for Little Dreamers

Now I Lay Me Blanket shows the old bedtime prayer across the middle, so the words are the first thing you read. It carries a sweet promise for quiet nights, and you may know it from your own childhood or from saying it with a little one.

What the print says

The prayer runs through the center in blue and gold lettering, with “Morning Light” at the bottom in a larger gold script. Above it sits a soft rainbow, and a few clouds float on either side. A small hot air balloon rises near the right edge beside a crescent moon, while stars and dots scatter across the white background. Each element sits quietly, so the words stay in charge. The sky motifs tie the whole picture together into one bedtime scene.

Who sees themselves in it

Families who say this prayer every night will notice the words first and smile at the familiar lines. Grandparents, godparents and church families often recognize it right away. You might use this blanket in a nursery, on a toddler's bed or on a sofa where a child settles in for a story. The phrase now i lay me blanket fits the moment when the lights go low and the prayer comes back to mind.

Meant as a gift

This blanket suits a baptism, a christening, a baby shower or a child's first move to a big bed. You can wrap it up for a godchild or a grandchild who is starting something new. Pick the Fleece Throw Blanket for a light layer, or a Sherpa option for extra softness on cold evenings. It works well as a keepsake the family can use for years.
