Your finished blanket will by 36 by 36 inches (91.44 by 91.44 centimeters) with a 4-inch (10.16-centimeter) long fringe. You can use the same color for each piece of fleece, or you can use two contrasting colors. You can also use a solid color for one piece, and a matching pattern for the other. Cut through both pieces of fleece as the same time to ensure that the squares match up. If you are using a patterned piece of fleece, make sure that the right side is facing out. Once again, try to cut through both layers of fleece at the same time. This will ensure that your tassels match up. Starting in the lower left-hand corner, take the first tassel from the top and bottom pieces of felt. Tie the two tassels together into a tight, double-knot. Finish the bottom row, then work your way around the side, top, and other side. Once you have finished tying all of the tassels, your blanket is ready to use!

summary: Cut two pieces of 40 by 40-inch (101.6 by 101.6-centimeter) fleece. Stack the fleece pieces on top of each other, then cut a 4-inch (10.16-centimeter) square out of each corner. Cut 1-inch (2.54-centimeter) wide, 4-inch (10.16-centimeter) long slits into all four edges. Start tying the top tassels to the bottom tassels in tight, double-knots. Continue tying the tassels together on all four sides of the blanket.

Fevers under 39.5C (103F) are generally not harmful in themselves. In many cases, fever is a good thing, as it is the body’s way of raising the temperature of the environment to be toxic to pathogens, bacteria, and viruses.  Fever usually does not cause harm, is self-limiting, and medication is usually not needed. Fever usually lasts no more than a few days. Infants under the age of 12 weeks with a fever of 38C (100.4F) or greater should go directly to emergency.  The main reason to treat a fever is to make your child more comfortable. But, if the fever is high (39.8C/103.6F or higher), you should consider treating it and seeking medical attention. Antipyretic (anti-fever) medications work on regulating the hypothalamus, the temperature centre in the brain. Both acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (e.g., Motrin, Advil) work well and should reduce the fever within 1.5 to 2 hours. If your feverish child is younger than 2, consult with your pediatrician before giving any medication.  Do not give children aspirin (ASA, acetylsalicylic acid). Children who take aspirin can fall ill with Reye syndrome, a life-threatening illness that causes swelling of the brain and other issues.  Always be sure to give the correct dosage to a child. Children do not take the same amount as adults. Dosages are based on age and weight so read the bottle carefully to determine the right dose for your child based on the bottle guidelines. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are uncertain how much to give.  There is no evidence that alternating medications reduces fever any quicker; rather, it can lead to dosage errors. This practice is not recommended in children.  Do not give ibuprofen to children younger than 6 months. If your child is vomiting or dehydrated, do not use ibuprofen. Take your child to a doctor if he has a high fever (over 40C or 104F) that does not come down to 38.3C (101F) to 38.9C (102F) with medication. Also take your child to the doctor if the fever lasts over 24 hours (for children younger than 2) or 3 days (for children 2 and over) or if the child becomes dehydrated. Take your child to emergency immediately if he becomes severely lethargic (drowsy), unresponsive, has trouble breathing, has a stiff neck, has a sudden rash, or becomes violently ill. A febrile seizure is a seizure caused by a sudden high temperature and looks like stiffening of the body, involuntary jerking movements, eyes rolling back into the head, and loss of consciousness. A febrile seizure may last 2 minutes and looks very scary but is not necessarily harmful.  If your child is having a seizure, do not hold him down, try to stop him, or stick anything into his mouth. Remove his glasses and put something soft under his head if you can. Lay him on his side if possible. Let him be and move nearby furniture or sharp objects. Time the seizure and tell your doctor how long it lasted. If the seizure lasts more than 3 minutes, call an ambulance. Take your child for medical attention, even if he feels sleepy and wants to just rest at home. The doctor will want to ask questions to rule out any causes other than fever. Febrile seizures are common and do not cause brain damage or epilepsy.

summary: Let the fever ride its course. Reduce a high fever or discomfort from fever with medication. Seek professional or emergency help if the fever is uncontrollable. See your doctor if your child has a febrile seizure.
