Creating a special space just for my toddler daughter has been one of the sweetest milestones in my motherhood journey so far. As she’s grown more independent, we knew it was time for her to have her own bedroom. So, over the past week, we have rearranged rooms and transformed the smallest bedroom in our place into her first big-girl space.
I don’t know who’s more excited, her and me. Her room is coming along quite well, complete with a cozy book nook, soft lighting, and a few whimsical surprises, such as her new glow-in-the-dark unicorn blanket from Amazon called the Elegear Glow-in-the-Dark Cooling Blanket.
Elegear Glow-in-the-Dark Double-Sided Cooling Blanket
First things first. We are no strangers to blankets from Elegear. We love how they feel, how easy they are to wash and clean, and how they are made with cooling Arc-Chill technology. However, this one is a bit different. It’s made specifically for children with a fun unicorn and star pattern that glows in the dark after being exposed to light. Keep in mind that you do have to expose the blanket to bright light for 15 minutes before turning off the lights, so that the images are activated and able to glow.
On the first night in her room, we turned off the lights and watched her eyes light up with pure excitement. “Stars!” she said as she wrapped herself up and got cozy for bed.
I know that it’s only been a few short days, but so far, she’s been sleeping through the night with it, which makes me one happy mama. I honestly believe that it’s the cooling fabric that keeps her comfortable, as well as the gentle glow from the stars that gives her a sense of comfort and fun without being overstimulating.
I’m not sure how other toddlers are, but our daughter gets very overstimulated by loud noises and bright colors. In fact, we often attend sensory-friendly times when we attend various events and activities. I’m sure it is something that she will grow out of over time, but for now, this is where we are.

Multiple Sizes Available: XL Throw, Twin, and Queen
Aside from the blanket being colling and gentle for her, I appreciate that it is a larger blanket measuring 51″ x 67″ inches (XL Throw). Not only is it a great size for her toddler bed, but it’s also great for relaxing on the couch and around the house, and even for car rides and road trips. But have no worries, if this is not the size that works for your family, please know that this blanket comes in two other sizes, including the twin size and queen size.

Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a soft, breathable, and fun blanket for your little one, I highly recommend the Elegear Glow-in-the-Dark Cooling Blanket. It’s a cozy touch of magic every child should be able to enjoy, and easily machine washable.
