Christmas Coloring Blanket Size and Design Guide

Two people coloring the Christmas Friends blanket on the living-room floor

Choose a 28 × 39 in Christmas coloring blanket for one person’s lap, a 51 × 59 in throw for the couch, or a 59 × 79 in blanket if two people want to color side by side. The Little Tada kit includes a printed fleece blanket and acrylic markers.

Which coloring blanket size should you choose?

28 × 39 in (70 × 100 cm): a lap blanket

Pick this for one person working at a table. It is the easiest size to spread out in a small space. See the 28 × 39 in Christmas Friends blanket.

51 × 59 in (130 × 150 cm): a couch throw

Pick this if you want a throw to use on the couch after coloring. Fold the blanket so the section you’re working on fits your table. See the 51 × 59 in Christmas Friends blanket.

59 × 79 in (150 × 200 cm): room to share

Pick this for two people starting at opposite corners, or if you want a larger finished blanket. Clear enough floor or table space before opening the markers. See the 59 × 79 in Christmas Friends blanket.

  • Festive Truck shows a vintage pickup carrying gifts and a small Christmas tree on a light background.
  • Christmas Stitches shows a sewing machine, patchwork and a sleeping cat on a dark background.
  • Christmas Express shows a steam train, a clock-tower station and a snowman against a dark sky.
  • Christmas Cafe shows a cafe with a striped awning, a bistro table and a sleeping cat on a dark background.

How do you set up the blanket for coloring?

  1. Choose a flat surface and protect it with a sheet of cardboard. Tuck the rest of the blanket aside if the whole thing won’t fit.
  2. Start with one small section of the printed design. If two people are sharing, give each person a corner and leave the middle for later.
  3. Let the colored areas dry before folding the blanket. Follow the care instructions that come with the item before washing.

Do you need to buy fabric markers separately?

No. Acrylic markers come with the blanket. The design is printed on polyester flannel fleece, so you can use the finished blanket as a throw.
