Mom should switch them out regularly, so they all get the same amount of wear.

How do I know this? My grandkids are now 6 and 7, and sleep with a very raggedy 'snuggle' blankie. My daughters hold their breath every time the blankie must be washed!

my original plan was to make 2 identical for that very reason. I remember what it was like to try to get them away from them to wash!!!!
