Crib blankets are used every day by new babies. A hand-made crib blanket reminds the mom that a person cared enough for her and her baby to take the time to do this. Such blankets serve to continually remind moms, especially when things may be difficult, that someone, who she may not even know, was thinking of her when they made it. These blankets are simple enough that they can sometimes be made by children, helping them to directly understand what it means to help moms and their babies.
