1. I bought two boxes of these markers, one for each of my daughters. However, one pink ran out of ink before we were done with one picture of our coloring books (within half an hour of opening the box on the day that we received it in the mail). We switched to the second pink from the other box and that pink ran out of ink too. The tan was also drying by the end of the first picture.

   I probably wouldn’t have bought this product if I knew that the pink and tan would run out this quickly. We did use the markers to color in the picture, so maybe this is not the intended use? Maybe they are meant solely for outlining. Another note, these markers may be washable off skin (haven’t had to try that yet), but it does make a note on the box that it will only wash off some clothes, and not to use these markers near things that can’t be laundered i.e. carpets, couches, walls, etc. Unfortunately, I will not be buying these again as they do not serve my needs.

2. My girls love to color with markers but I rarely let them use them at home because there is so much mess involved. No matter how neat they TRY to be, some color always gets on their hands or arms. And the color does NOT wash off that easily. I have scrubbed my kids’ hands countless times trying to get the marker off only to have to just leave it to fade over the next day. And yes, we used the “washable” markers. Both my girls come home from school with marks on them even though their teachers have them wash right after art period. Sorry…but I will stick with crayons!

3. We love these! It washes off my sealed wood floors easily, my furniture, my wood table, and my kids who draw all over themselves. In fact, these are the BEST washable markers around… normally I don’t go in for name brand being better or anything.. but after having kids with “tiger whiskers” drawn on for about a week with other brands of supposedly “washable” markers, we’ll stick with Crayola’s expertise from now on!

4. We love these markers. They state right on the package that washable refers to your child’s hands and body. These are not intened for use on walls or fabric. That said, these markers are terrific, They are long lasting and the perfect size for little hands. My 4 year old reaches for these far more often then she does her crayons and colored pencils. Best of all she can doodle to her heart’s content on her arms or hands and it washes right off with just water. A+ in my book.

5. I’m a painter and my client let her kids write all over the walls of the room I was about to paint, assuming that “washable” markers would actually wash off. WRONG! It took ammonia cleaner, magic eraser, SoftScrub, three coats of spackle and TEN coats of primer to get rid of it!!! Do yourself (and your painter) a favor and don’t let your kids write on your walls with these!!!
