Using a pair of old jeans you are going to create an extra cozy spot for your child’s room or your classroom or family childcare home!

I demo’d this at the event in NAPA this past weekend.  I can’t take a fully stuffed & completed lap with me on the plane (HA! that’d be funny though!) but I can walk folks thru the steps and that’s what I’m doing today for you!

You need:

1) a bunch of velcro

2) sewing supplies to (optional) sew any or all of the openings shut (instead of using velcro).  I suggest using velcro for at least one of the openings incase you find you have to wash the jeans! 

3) old jeans

4) TONS of batting (to fill the pants)

You will:

1) FIRST: sew or velcro the bottom of the legs shut

2) SECOND: stuff the pants with batting or other soft filling

3) THIRD: sew or velcro the waist shut

4) Prop it up in the book nook, cozy corner, etc etc

VOILA!

an extra lap!
