Winter is for snuggles, cuddling up and staying as cosy as can be. And as much as we love curling up with a blanket if only we could wear them all the time…
Do you see where we are going with this? Enter – the wearable blanket.
The wearable blanket – or hooded blanket – may just be the saving grace for your kids this winter. They’re essentially an enormously oversized hoodie but usually made from an ultra-soft material like fleece or flannel, like a blanket would be.
The kids can wear them around the house and still be able to go about their daily activities, so excuses like “I actually can’t clean my room cause I am too cosy under this blanket” will fall on deaf ears thanks to these lifesavers.
Want to find the perfect options for your little ones this winter? Below are our picks, including some cult items that your kids are sure to love.
