During the month of April create a warm and welcoming space for two and three-year old children to read and learn with their caregivers at home. You will make a no-sew throw blanket and pillow and purchase a culturally-relevant book to give to a child in the ParentChild+ program at Horn of Africa Services.

Here are the supplies you’ll need to gather to join in the fun:

• No-sew blanket: select ONE of the following options:
  • A JOANN no-sew blanket kit (48”), OR
  • 5 ½ yards fleece fabric (enough for two 56″ x 70″ rectangles)

• No-sew pillows:
  • Pillow insert (10”-24”)
  • Two squares of fleece 6” longer than pillow insert (ex: for a 10” pillow, you will need two 16” squares of fleece)
  • Scissors

• One or more of the following books:
  • Bears on Chairs
  • Dream Big, Little One
  • A Color of His Own
