the picnic factory

As soon as the weather gets even a little bit sunny, we’re adventuring outside.  We go for picnics, watch soccer games, and sometimes we even get a few moments to ourselves to read under a tree.  But even sunny days can bring dewy grass and damp behinds, which is why we always bring our Milk Factory Designs Spill Proof Blanket on outdoor adventures.

The Milk Factory Spill Proof Blanket is a beautiful marriage of soft and cozy anti-pill fleece on one side, and a wind and water resistant PVC-free nylon on the other.  With a nifty removable carry strap, it’s designed for an active lifestyle, and will quickly become an essential part of your outdoor arsenal.

We’ve put this blanket through some pretty heavy duty testing.  We can’t even begin to list all the things we’ve used it for, so we’ll just mention a few: We’ve taken it camping, on picnics, to muddy yucky football games, and to the park. We’ve also used it as a stroller cover, a pet blanket, a windbreaker, and we hear rumours that it’s even been used as a sled in winter. It’s been barfed on, pooped on, bled on, spilled and stepped on, and yet every time we pull it out of the wash, it looks good as new.

It’s a bit pricier than similar blankets on the market, but we have doubts that these other blankets will be anywhere near as durable and comfortable.  We also love that this blanket is made and designed in Vancouver. The Spill Proof blanket comes in a myriad of colours, with some new options ready just in time for Father’s Day.  It also makes a great baby shower gift!

Milk Factory Designs also makes the narrower Sideline Blanket, which is perfect for sitting at the edge of a field or in the bleachers, and a Multi Mat, which is much smaller but works great as a change pad. Both the Sideline and Multi Mat are made of the same great combination of fleece and nylon.

We’ve got the blanket, we’ve got the plan, and it seems like we have the sun…so let’s take it outside!

One thought on “the picnic factory

  1. I’ve had my milkfactory blanket for a few years now and after countless washings its still in fantastic shape – it almost looks brand new. I couldn’t imagine an outdoor outing without taking it. Its been to the fireworks (perfect for when its a bit chilly and the grass starts to get dewy), outdoor concerts and festivals, the beach, birthday parties, parks galore, camping, fishing, you name it. Its survived anything my 3 year old has managed to spill, slosh, extrude, and grind into it. Totally worth how much we spent and I recommend it to anyone who asks.
