Our new travel bear mat / backpack pattern has now been released! Create this fun bear mat for your children to relax or even sleep on! The mat rolls up and turns into a backpack so your kids can travel with it. You can even roll up a blanket in it and use it at sleepovers instead of a sleeping bag. My kids have been using theirs non-stop since I finished them and are begging to sleep out in their play room on them tonight (: The pattern includes instructions for the panda bear mat and the brown/teddy bear mat and has instructions for toddlers and older children. Simply add more rows to the pattern and it will work for teenagers and even adults who would like a cozy mat to relax on! Now through tomorrow at midnight you can get this pattern for 20% off when you use code BEARFUN at http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/travel-bear-mat—backpack
