Night – Night Cricket Board Book This board book goes through all kinds little critters going to bed. The story ends with Cricket going to sleep too. There is a seek and find at the end of the book, so when baby gets older, he/she can find the pictures in the book too.
Cricket This plush cricket is so cute. Cricket has stitched eyes and mouth, so there are no parts to come off and be a choking hazard. This little guy is cute and safe for the youngest children.;
Swaddle Blanket This blanket is made of 100% cotton muslin. I didn't have anything like this when my oldest was a baby but my 4 year old had several similar blankets. These are lightweight, and very easy to use. There are tips in the magazine for a perfect swaddle.
The blanket is so large, it works as a baby swaddle blanket or could work as a toddler blanket for naps. The blanket has cute little pictures of cricket playing.
These are some of the scenes on the blanket. I ended up giving this to my 4 year old, because he still likes to carry around a blanket.
Final Thought: I love Cricket Crate. It's just the cutest little box for babies. I like that Kiwi Crate is creating new ways to help stimulate even the tiniest little babies. Muslin blankets can sell for way more than $19.95, so this box is a great value. If you want to subscribe, use the coupon BOXMOM40 to save 40% on your 1st box.
