Not Good For Pre-Schoolers, Not Washable, Stains!!!April 5, 2010 C. Kavarnos(ny) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have always been happy with the Melissa and Doug products I have purchased but I cannot say that for these dry erase markers. For my soon to be three year old son I was looking for a safe, dry erase marker that would not stain and have strong fumes. I thought since these were marketed for kids they would be all that. They were not. They stain clothes, chalkboards, vinyl siding. In about 2 minutes my son wrote on the dry erase side of his easel, the chalkboard side and my siding. It only came off on the white board. I was very perturbed and would never had bought them if I knew they stained like this. Then he got it on his shirt and only some came off even though I put stain remover on it immediately. I have a problem with Easel manufacturers that create dry erase easels for pre-schoolers yet do not include safe washable dry erase products for the children they are for. I am very dissappointed and I purchased 2 packs thinking they would be great. Not good at all.
They are not marketed as washable markers, and they do NOT wash out of clothingFebruary 25, 2010 mom2girls 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I had bought some Foohy brand washable markers and they are washable. However, when I needed some more for my kids to play with at my mom's house, I couldn't find them, so I took a gamble with these. They are not marketed as washable, but based on some reviews I thought they would be. Unfortunately, they are not. As with other regular dry erase markers, the only way I could get the stain out was to rub and rub the stain with Murphy's Oil Soap (a tip I found online that actually works)! So, if the only reason you are wanting these markers is in hopes that they will wash out of clothing, they will not.
Don't erase wellFebruary 12, 2010 K. Nelson(Pittsburgh PA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I got these for my preschooler hoping that they'd wash out well since they're geared toward kids... well they washed out of his clothes okay, but won't come off the board. Not that they are just leaving light lines or marks, part of the coloring won't come off at all even with a lot of scrubbing. I'm hoping that a board cleaner will get it off, but I was hoping just an eraser would do...
markersJanuary 29, 2010 Silvia Palafox(South Gate, CA) the ink is great last long. doesnt smell so kid friendly. its safe for kids to use without having to smell it.
MarkersJanuary 26, 2010 Patricia Thoms(Cedar Rapids, IA) The markers did not work well on the white board of the easel we purchased for the kids. It was like they were going across an oily surface. What did appear, especially the red, would not completely wipe off. We ended up purchasing business, office quality markers and a business quality product to erase the markers.
