    ​Someone posted pictures of their pajamas monsters a while back. They also had a link with the pattern? It was a monster pillow that the zipper was where the mouth was and you put the pajamas in the mouth and zipped it closed. I think the title might be Pajamas eaters?

    Back packs for them to drag around their treasures in.

    There are many tutes on the pillowcase mattress. Here's an easy one. http://bitofblueskyy.blogspot.com/20...-tutorial.html
    Other ideas- Zippered bags, crayon totes, sweatshirt jacket, anything personalized, origami bags for toys (google for many directions). Their own special dinnerware and placemats? Laundry bags? Anything that encourages cleanup after playtime. Have fun and show us what you come up with.

    Add to the many great ideas above .............. a fort or house or ? that slides over the top of a card table. You can put on all sorts of embellishments, inside and out, according to the theme you want to create including windows.

    Similar could be done for the girls, but more of a playhouse theme and of course, girlie-girlie colours and decorative embellishments!

    Everyone loves those playhouses you put over a card table. Easy to set-up and easy to store when not in use.

    I made these some years ago before there were patterns for them. They do love those.

    There are so many great ideas...These can keep me busy for a long time! Thanks for all the posts and to all who may still post!

    My grandson's love pillowcases - you can make all kinds of "boy" cases.

    I have four boys. They loved their quillows. I also made backpacks appropriate sizes from novelty fabrics. At one time we had a cookie monster tablecloth to fit the kid-size table. But their favorite sewn things were costumes - Peter Pan, Star Trek uniforms, super heroes, etc. And pajamas.
