In addition to the whale blanket (see previous post!) I also made my nephew the most adorable crayon blanket.  It took me so much longer than it should have because I hate sewing seams, but this project is the best!  The crayons are interesting to make because of the color work and shaping the crayon, and it just such a cute idea!  You can also add color names, but I liked the look without it.  Apparently my nephew lays the blanket on the ground, then jumps from color to color saying the name.  I love it when gifts are well received!
