Yarn and Fabric related

I made this blanket specifically for 'tummy time' for Isabelle, I don't know if it's something also done in the UK now too but here they encourage you to put babies face down on the floor for I think about 15 minutes or so each day to encourage them to push up with their arms and get some core strength. Alia would never do it and when she went to school the school asked my daughter if she had done tummy time and my daughter told them that she would try but Alia just would put her arms and legs out to the side and scream until she was picked up no matter how much we encouraged. Somehow the school could tell that Alia hadn't done it? So I made this blanket with lots of different colours and difference between colours like the pink and grey strip and the orange and white to get Isabelle's attention, other strips have patterns that have textures to encourage their sense of touch like the orange strip with it's big dots. Then of course the pompoms securely attached for playing with. It's made of 100% cotton yarn but it's very soft so should be comfortable to lie on, hopefully it will make tummy time a bit more fun.
