Best coloring blanket in 2026: 5 kits compared

The 5 coloring blankets compared

Here is what each seller writes on its own page, with prices read on October 29, 2026. Prices change often, so check the listing before you buy.

• Our kit: $39.99, about 59 x 50 in, 24 washable fabric markers in the box. According to the manufacturer, the ink washes out in a regular machine wash. Free US shipping, delivered in 2-3 weeks. See the 7 designs.
• Coloring Your Own (coloringyourown.com): $84.99 per design (one sold-out design was listed at $67.99), 50 x 60 in, markers not included. Care: heat-set in a hot dryer, wash cold with white vinegar, air-dry. Free US shipping over $99; delivery time not listed.
• Craftikit (craftikit.com): $34.95 for most blanket designs, 40 x 60 in, 15 fabric markers. The seller says the colors stay through the wash; one listing says machine wash cold and tumble dry low. Free standard US shipping, typically 3-5 business days after 1-2 days of processing.
• Coloring Blankets (coloringblankets.com): $37.99, size not listed, 24 washable fabric markers. The seller recommends a cold gentle cycle and air drying. Free shipping; US delivery 7-21 business days after 3-5 days of processing. Two of its four designs were unavailable.

How we compared

We used five points a buyer can check: price, size, number of markers, what the seller says about washing, and the US delivery time shown. Every figure comes from the seller's own page, read on October 29, 2026.

We have not tested the other kits, and we have not tested ours in hand either, so there are no stars, scores or coloring blanket reviews here. Where a page did not give a number, we wrote "not listed" instead of guessing.

Washing is the point where kits differ most. Some want permanent ink, heat and vinegar; ours is meant to wash out and be colored again. Our washing guide and our fabric markers page explain both options.

Which is the best coloring blanket for adults?

For adults, the best coloring blanket is the one with a design detailed enough to keep you busy. Our most detailed is Garden Blooms, with flowers edge to edge; like the other designs, it is white line art on a black background, and all 7 are on our designs page. More on this in coloring blanket for adults.

Size matters too. At about 59 x 50 in, ours is wider than the 40 x 60 in kits and close to the 50 x 60 in blankets.

Where others do better: Coloring Your Own has more designs (11 listed), including a holiday one, and is built for a permanent keepsake. Craftikit ships faster and has holiday designs. Coloring Blankets costs $2 less with the same 24 markers.

The $20 listings: what you get

On October 29, the cheapest blanket kits we found were around $20 to $26, not under $20 once you leave the sponsored and seasonal ones aside. The one we read in detail, at $23.88, has 24 markers and a 40 x 55 in throw.

What you often do not get is a clear answer on washing: many listings say "washable" without saying whether that means the blanket, the ink, or both. If you want to color, wash and start again, look for a seller who says the ink washes out.

Where to buy a coloring blanket: online, Walmart, Target, near me

Online is where we found every kit on this page. Walmart's website blocked our automated check on October 29, so we could not read its prices. A web search did not turn up a coloring blanket on target.com. We did not check in store, so for a coloring blanket near me, call your local craft or big-box store before you drive.

Ours is sold on this site at $39.99 with 24 markers and free US shipping. Pick your design here.
