Parents Are Raving About These Markers – Find Out Why They're Worth Every Penny!
If you're tired of dealing with dried-out markers, messy stains, and tips that break under pressure, you’re not alone.
Parents love these kid-friendly markers that promise durability, vibrant colors, and, best of all, washability.
Here’s a breakdown of the 6 biggest complaints about traditional markers – and how these innovative options solve them.
Problem 1: Drying Out Too Quickly
Solution: We found 2 great options:
1. Magic Stix Markers have a unique "no dry-out" guarantee, meaning they can be left uncapped for up to 7 days without drying out.
2. BIC Easy Hold XL Magic Marker -
- Won’t dry out when left uncapped for up to 90 days (Cap off times vary by color: Black 30 days, Red 30 to 60 days, all other colors 90 days)
- They have an extra-large barrel, easy to hold for kids 3 plus
- The blocked tip is resistant from pushing in
- Water-based ink that is washable on most clothes
Benefits:
- Longevity: No more tossing out markers after one day of forgetfulness. These markers are built to last, saving you money over time.
- Convenience: Kids can focus on creating without worrying about recapping every time. Perfect for families with young artists who might get distracted and leave markers open between uses.
Problem 2: Messy Stains That Won’t Wash Out
Solution: Crayola Pip-Squeaks Washable Markers are designed with a washable ink formula, which makes clean-up easy on clothes, skin, and surfaces.
Benefits:
- Stress-Free Creativity: Parents can let kids draw freely without worrying about scrubbing stains out of the carpet or their kids' clothes.
- Safe and Kid-Friendly: These markers are non-toxic and safe for kids of all ages, making them ideal for younger children who might accidentally mark themselves or surrounding surfaces
Problem 3: Easily Damaged Tips
Solution: Both Magic Stix and Crayola Pip-Squeaks feature durable tips that resist fraying and flattening, even with heavy use by little hands.
Benefits:
- Long-Lasting Quality: Sturdy tips keep the markers usable over a longer period, which means less frequent replacements.
- Consistent Line Quality: Kids get smooth, even lines on every project, adding to their enjoyment and creative confidence
Problem 4: Ink Bleeding Through Paper
Solution: Both Magic Stix and Crayola Pip-Squeaks are specifically designed for kids’ art projects, with formulas that limit bleed-through on most types of paper.
Benefits:
- Perfect for All Types of Art: Kids can use these markers on regular paper, coloring books, or construction paper without ruining their artwork.
- Suitable for Thin Paper: Markers like Crayola Pip-Squeaks are especially gentle on thin paper, allowing for double-sided drawings and crafts
Problem 5: Strong Odor
Solution: All markers mentioned above are mostly odorless, especially compared to permanent markers, making them more kid-friendly.
Benefits:
- Healthier for Kids: Without the strong smell, these markers are much safer and more pleasant for kids to use for extended periods.
- Better for Indoor Use: Parents can feel comfortable letting kids color indoors without the lingering smell of harsh chemicals in the room
Problem 6: Limited Color Choices
Solution: These marker sets often come with a wide range of colors, and brands like Mr. Sketch even add fun, unique scents to each shade. The only downside may be that they tend to bleed through the paper.
Benefits:
- Encourages Creativity: A variety of colors lets kids explore a wider color palette, fueling their creativity.
- Extra Fun Factor: Scents in Mr. Sketch markers make drawing even more enjoyable and engaging for young kids
