Read the full description
Luzanen is a giant colouring roll: a long strip of thick drawing paper printed with black line scenes that children fill in with colour. You unroll it on the floor or on a table, or fix it to a wall with tape, and it is big enough for several children to colour at the same time. It is designed for families looking for an activity away from screens for a rainy afternoon, a birthday party or a visit from cousins.
A colouring paper roll with scenes already drawn
The drawings are black outlines, with no colour, and they run along the whole roll. These are not loose sheets but one continuous strip: every stretch you unroll brings new drawings to colour. The themes of the scenes depend on the design of the roll; the colour is up to the children, however they like and with whatever they have at home.
A giant colouring mural: on the floor, on a table or on the wall
On the living room or hallway floor you unroll a good stretch and each child settles wherever they like, sitting or lying down. On a long table it works like a tablecloth that gets coloured in as you go. And on the wall, held up with tape, it becomes a mural to colour standing up. Because it is so long, there is room for siblings, cousins and friends, each on their own stretch.
Thick paper for felt-tips, wax crayons and coloured pencils
It is drawing paper, thicker than an ordinary sheet of printer paper, so that it stands up to repeated strokes and to being rolled and unrolled. It takes felt-tip pens, wax crayons and coloured pencils, which are not included: the ones you already have at home will do. Its weight is given in the specifications table. With felt-tips, the ink can go through if you press on one spot for long, so it is wise to protect whatever is behind.
A giant colouring poster you can cut off and hang up
When a stretch is finished, cut it off with scissors and hang it in a bedroom, on the fridge or on a door, like a home-made poster. It can also be used to wrap a present or cover a box. Whatever is still blank rolls back up and is kept for another day, so the same roll lasts for more than one afternoon.
How to use the colouring roll with children
Choose the place
Floor, table or wall. Clear the area and put cardboard, an oilcloth or old paper underneath or behind if you are going to use felt-tips.
Unroll a stretch
Pull out the length you are going to colour and hold the corners down with tape or a little weight so it does not roll back.
Share out the colours
Leave the felt-tips, crayons or pencils within everyone's reach and let each child choose their part.
Cut off what is finished
When a stretch is coloured in, cut it off with scissors, always an adult or with an adult's help, and hang it up.
Store the rest
Roll up what is left without making it too tight and keep it in a dry place until next time.
Care and storage
- Keep the roll rolled up, in a dry place and away from direct sunlight, which yellows paper.
- Do not get it wet: the paper buckles and felt-tip ink can run.
- If an edge gets creased, flatten it under a few books before colouring.
- Let the ink dry before rolling up a freshly coloured stretch, so it does not mark the rest.
Frequently asked questions
What is a giant colouring roll?
It is a long strip of drawing paper that comes rolled up and printed with black line scenes, without colour. You unroll the stretch you want, colour it with felt-tips, crayons or pencils and roll it back up when you finish. Unlike a colouring book, it is big enough for several children to colour at the same time.
Does the colouring paper roll include felt-tips or crayons?
No. The pack contains the paper roll, with nothing to colour with. The felt-tips, wax crayons and coloured pencils you already have at home will do. If you are going to buy something to go with it, crayons and pencils are the most convenient choice for the youngest children, because they have no liquid ink that could go through the paper.
How do you hang the giant colouring mural on the wall?
With tape at the corners and along the top edge; the back of the paper is not adhesive. Use masking tape or another low-tack tape and test it beforehand on a spot that is out of sight, because it can leave a mark or lift fresh paint. Put some protection behind the paper if the children are going to use felt-tips.
Can you use poster paints or watercolours on it?
It is designed for dry media and felt-tips. The paper is thick, but with liquid paint it may buckle and the colour may go through, and we cannot assure you otherwise. If you want to try, do it at one end of the roll, with very little water and with protection underneath, and let it dry well before rolling it up.
How many children can colour at the same time?
It depends on how much you unroll and on the space you have. On a hallway floor or a long table there is room for several children, each on their own stretch, on either side of the strip. The length and width of the roll are given in the specifications table so you can work out how much room it takes.
What do you do with the giant colouring poster when it is finished?
Whatever you fancy. Finished stretches can be cut off with scissors and hung in a bedroom or on the fridge, given to grandparents or used to wrap a present. If you would rather keep it whole, roll it up again and store it in a dry place, held with its band or with a rubber band.
