Peek-a-Boo Lion Baby Blanket
This adorable lion is playing peek-a-boo! His face is in one corner and his tail is popping out of pocket in another corner. Boy and girl babies will love the sweet face and the great textures of this blanket. The border is stitched along with the body of blanket. The lion’s face and tail are added to the blanket once it is completed. Perfect for nurseries with a safari or jungle theme. Expectant parents would love to receive this as a shower gift.
