Spread it out on the couch or the floor. The whole design is printed on, in bold outlines big enough to fill in.

Colour it in
Use the fabric markers in the box. Big open shapes for small hands, fine detail for the adults who insist they are only helping.

Wash it
Cold, gentle cycle, hang to dry. No bleach, no tumble dryer.

Start again
It comes out of the wash ready for the next design. This is not a one-evening toy.
Up close
It is a blanket. You just happen to colour it in.
Brushed fleece printed edge to edge with line art, and a case of fabric markers in the same box. Fill it in over a few evenings, wash it, and it is ready for the next round.
Real fabric markers,
included in the box - not a separate order.
Fleece first.
It is a blanket you can colour, not paper you can wrap up in.
Wide enough for three.
Different corners at once, instead of taking turns.
Washes clean.
Cold and gentle, hang to dry, then start the next round.
Is it actually a blanket, or just a colouring page?
It is brushed fleece, so it is a blanket first and a colouring page second. Colour it in over a weekend, then curl up under it for the rest of the winter.
Can it really be washed and coloured again?
Yes. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle and hang it to dry - skip the bleach and the tumble dryer. It comes back ready for the next round.
What comes in the box?
The blanket and a set of fabric markers, together. Nothing else to buy and nothing missing on the day you give it.
How long does one take to finish?
There is enough on it to fill an afternoon and then some. Most people come back to it over several evenings rather than finishing in one go.
What age is it for?
Around three and up, and every adult who ends up on the floor next to them. It is wide enough for two or three people to work different corners at once instead of taking turns.
Will the colour survive the wash?
Use fabric markers - the ones in the box are made for it. Let them dry fully before the first wash and the colour stays where you put it.
