What a sweet giveaway prize! I know just what I would do with it. My son, who is almost 20 years old now, make a picture when he was in first grade. It is a picture about the
book "If you Give a Mouse a Cookie." When we move, he asked about where it was. He actually thought I had gotten rid of it. It hangs on the refrigerator with tons of other items. There it was and he was happy. I would love to have his picture put on the pillow. He could give it to his child one day. Thanks,Cindi

This is an excellent way to show off a child's artwork. It would be a great present for the grandparent's or it would be great to get a collection of them and keep on top of your child's bed or on the sofa! This is something that will make a child feel very special--and surely create memories that will last a lifetime. Great find.

My daughter is a budding artist so we would love to commemorate some of her early art work.
