It's so rare to find something that gets my teenagers out of their bedrooms, but even they sat down and colored a few gingerbread men with their little sister.

I expected it to feel like cheap plastic because of the protective backing, but the top layer is incredibly soft. My kids actually use it to sleep under when they get tired of coloring!

I struggle to find activities that hold my 7-year-old's attention, but he is obsessed with this. He wakes up and immediately goes to color another Santa.

I have three kids who fight over everything. This blanket is so huge that they can all comfortably lay around it and color their own sections in peace.

Bought this for my 4-year-old who usually makes a mess with markers. The fabric absorbs the ink perfectly and the protective layer on the back actually works. No stains on my coffee table!

Surprisingly plush. It drapes really well over the couch and doesn't have that weird crinkly sound when you fold it. The fabric takes the marker ink really smoothly.

This literally saved my sanity on Thanksgiving. I rolled it out and it kept four kids completely off their iPads for two straight hours. Best purchase ever.

Usually these coloring crafts feel like stiff canvas, but this is actually a legitimately soft, cozy throw blanket. We color a little bit every night while watching movies.
