Activity blanket with bunnies is a colorful, playful developmental blanket for babies and newborns, handmade in Estonia by craftswoman Mailis Design. This large 145 x 145 cm patchwork quilt is made up of dozens of squares in different patterns and textures, inviting little ones to explore, touch, and discover.

Product Overview

The blanket is stitched together from numerous patchwork squares featuring bunny, cat, and dog print fabrics, heart and butterfly patterns, and soft cloud motifs. A smiling plush sun toy with colorful cord “arms” is attached to the blanket, giving baby something fun to grasp and follow with their eyes and hands. The design also includes fabric origami pinwheels, round peek-a-boo windows revealing different patterned fabrics underneath, and mesh pockets hiding a crinkly surprise inside.

Material and Quality

This activity blanket is made from cotton fabrics filled with polyester wadding. The fabrics are pre-washed before sewing, and dense quilting stitches help the blanket keep its shape wash after wash. Every square is carefully hand-assembled, so each blanket comes out slightly different and one of a kind — a true piece of Mailis Design craftsmanship, made with an emphasis on quality and lasting finish.

Usage

This blanket is designed primarily for babies and newborns whose fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination are just beginning to develop. It offers a variety of textures, sounds, and colors — crinkly details, ribbons, pockets, and peek-a-boo windows — that keep little ones engaged for a long time while supporting their natural curiosity about the world. On request, the child’s birth details can be added to the blanket, turning it into a personalized gift.

Care

This blanket is best washed in a washing machine on a wool cycle, using a gentle detergent that keeps fabrics soft. For such a colorful quilt, adding a color-catcher sheet to the wash is recommended to prevent colors from bleeding. Do not tumble dry or iron the blanket — instead, let it air dry laid flat.

Reasons to Choose This Piece

This blanket is more than a toy — it’s a thoughtfully designed developmental tool that supports a baby’s earliest steps in discovering the world. Every detail, from the crinkly fabrics to the soft pockets, is chosen to offer a rich sensory experience. Mailis Design craftsmanship means careful making, quality materials, and love stitched into every seam.

Target Audience

This bunny-themed activity blanket suits babies and newborns, and makes a cherished gift for a birthday, christening, or simply to brighten a baby’s first months.
