Color Wave Crayola Markers By DeDee on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
My daughter got these for her birthday from one of her friends. These markers are actually a cool marker. They are differnet from the regular markers that we are use to seeing. These markers have the ink in liquid in the one half of the marker. They don't have that felt round piece that absorbs the ink. This is the cool part of it. If you leave the lids off, most markers will dry out. These ColorWave markers won't do that. All you have to do is rub the tip and they are back to working normal condition. These makers have the most brillent colours too.The only downfalls that I have with these markers is that they are NOT washable. And with two really young children who want to join in on colouring when these are out, sucks because of this. So needless to say these markers are great for the older children but definitely not for younger ones. believe me I have marker everywhere. Stains galore on their hands, face and clothes!

These sound like they solve one of the problems with markers at least. My kids only got markers when they were little on highly supervised occasions! I was a meanie mom!
