Bigger ones may stay hotter longer, or, if you microwave them a little too long and wrap them in a towel, they'd stay hot longer. I used to use a couple smaller ones to warm my son's bed (he's 5 months) so he wasn't woken by the cold when I set him down. They stayed hot only 30 - 45 min. alone in his bed. Which of course meant they were safe for him.... The ones I do are only about 3 - 4" by 8 - 10" so maybe a much bigger one, like 8 x 8 or 8 x 16 would last longer? I've also heard you can fill them with flax seeds and I bet that would last longer too but it would be MUCH more expensive. I'm curious if you can find a good solution!

Next year I hope to have enough skills to make most all of the gifts we give. And how long do those rice packs stay hot? I was thinking about making one for my 3yo since his room gets kind of chilly at night. @Kate, How fabulous! Next year I hope to have enough skills to make most all of the gifts we give.

My husband was painting wooden blocks today (that he made himself) as a present for our nephew. You remind me that I have sooooo many crafts I need to finish. By this weekend. Sheets, blankets, homemade lotions, heating pads (those rice ones), etc. etc. Very cute blanket!

What an awesome blanket! Sadly, we're not crafting much at ALL today! Forgot Levi had a dr appt and then he got his (selective, delayed (hehe)) vaccinations, and now he's a fussy, clingy baby boy! Sigh. Maybe tomorrow he'll sleep all day and I'll get tons done. :-P Wow! What an awesome blanket! Sadly, we’re not crafting much at ALL today!
