My oldest son, Jackson, has a similar applique pillowcase done in primary colors to match his superhero room. When he was 2 and a half he would touch and say each letter of his name before he would go to sleep. What a precious memory!
I just made this one to match little Colin's jungle animal nursery. Of course fabrics can be changed to customize this for your little one or big one's room. I can also use the Swirly applique to girl it up.
Alone these make a great Christmas or birthday gift, ($20 applique, $15 embroidery only), but how cute would it be to pair it with a special flashlight and night time storybook.
