My children love drawing so much that we have run out of paper several times. And I bought many big packs! I have taken to cutting up paper bags to serve as their canvas. Apparently I didn’t do it fast enough, because two little monkeys recently wrote on my white kitchen cabinets with markers. All of them. I really wanted something they could use over and over to express themselves artistically.
Then I found it! It wasn’t paper, it wasn’t recycled bags, it was a stuffed animal! called a blankZ. Every blankZ comes with a set of washable markers that can be used to decorate it. Once your masterpiece is finished, just pop it in the washer and you will have a blank canvas. The blankZ comes in ? different animal styles:
- Bare (bear)
- Ele-faint (elephant)
- Un-sealed (seal)
- Bare Hare (rabbit)
- No Bully (bull)
- White Hound (dog)
- Bloink (pig)
We became the proud owners of a Bare blankZ. Here is what he looked liked before the kids got to him:
I barely got him out of the package before they had him decorated. They had a great time drawing all over him. I’m not sure who did what, but this is how our blankZ turned out:

He must have enjoyed himself because that looks like a smile. He was easy for the kids to decorate; the markers never dried out like some craft kit markers. And he actually washed up–I hope he liked that spin in the washer! Note: It’s not recommended to put a blankZ in the dryer.
Now he’s ready for another art lesson! I really think he needs a friend, so I will probably be ordering a second blankZ soon! You can also have your very own blankZ–fill out the Rafflecopter form below to win your choice of a blankZ animal. Giveaway is for US only and ends June 11 at midnight.
Disclosure: I received a blankZ for review purposes. All opinions are my own.
