A blanket is like a cozy hug you can wear on your body when it gets cold.
Imagine you're sitting on the floor in your pajamas, and it's chilly in the room. A blanket is something soft and warm that you put over yourself, like putting a big, fluffy pillow around your arms and legs. It keeps you warm, just like how wearing a jacket keeps you warm when you go outside.
Why we use blankets
Blankets can be different
Some blankets are big and cover the whole bed, while others are smaller and just wrap around you like a big scarf. You might have a blanket that is fuzzy and pink, or one that has stars printed on it, the choice is all yours!
Examples
