Kids Sleeping Bags – Ideas for Fun Sleepovers at Grandma’s house-By Cricketzzz (Crickets)

Nov. 22, 2010 - PRLog -- Most experts would agree that children who stay with grandparents, from one night to even a month, is a good thing. This teaches independence and self-reliance.  Has your child slept away from home yet?  Typically, the safest and easiest place for your child to gain “sleepover” independence is at a family member’s house.  Eventually, it will be the perfect time for your child to sleep away at Grandma and Grandpa’s house.  Often times, there could be anxiety for both parties, with questions about what it will be like.  What activities will they do?  What will they eat?  When will they be in bed?  How will they fall asleep?  Where will they sleep?  And the toughest question about the sleepover:  How will they be able to make it through the night?  After all, they will not have their own cozy bedroom or their normal bedtime ritual to lull them to sleep.  Hopefully they will have their favorite stuffed animal or blanket, but those may not be enough!  Regardless of how many nights they are away, they will certainly need a sleeping arrangement that puts everyone’s minds at ease for a perfect night’s rest!

Cricketzzz (the three zzz symbolize sleeping) @ http://www.cricketzzz.com put together some basic ideas for parents to take into consideration when planning their child’s first sleepover at Grandma and Grandpa’s house.  These ideas will help make enjoyable memories for the whole family:

• Packing Essentials:  Cozy PJs; Favorite keepsake (blankets, stuffed animals);  Cozy      Sleeping Bag
• Activities:  Arts and Crafts, Board Games, Card Games, Outdoor fun
• Meal Ideas:  Cook a fun dinner recipe; Bake a favorite dessert; Plan a spectacular breakfast – dine in or out!
• Evening Ideas:  Movies & popcorn – in the theater or snuggle in bed; Read; Make an outdoor fire; Roast marshmallows & S’mores
• Sleeping Arrangements:  Make a small tent; Build an indoor fort; Set out the favorite sleeping bag

Remembering the sleeping bag is ideal because it can be moved from room to room.   Your child can snuggle it in while watching TV, reading, napping, and especially for sleeping at night.  Whether sleeping in a bed or on the floor, a really plush sleeping bag is a necessity.   Cricketzzz sleeping bags are specifically made oversized, so a child can use it for many years without outgrowing it.  They are designed with fabrics that a child will enjoy for many years.   Cricketzzz sleeping bags have become the perfect grandparent gift for their grandchild to love for years to come.

One last thing to remember is that Grandma and Grandpa are excited about spending quality time with their grandchild!  Having the best essentials and just a little pre-planning will help make the best sleepover experience for the whole family! 
