Some of the Best, Top-Rated Washable Markers for Back to School

Shirley Norling
Washable markers have now become one of the back-to-school necessities on your child's list of back-to-school supplies in many schools. They will go in that backpack along with the pencils, papers, crayons and their other supplies. Our children are becoming more artsy and crafty with their school projects so markers are a must and they better be washable markers because you never know what added color will be on that new white blouse when your little one gets off the school bus at the end of the day. Like any other school item, how do you know what is the best washable marker to purchase for that little budding artist? Here is a list of some of the top-rated washable markers according to recent customer reviews.

Crayola Classic Washable Markers: Crayola has been a top name in the crayon world for a number of years. The quality that you get in their crayons is the same great quality that you can expect in their washable markers. These come in 8, 12, & 24 count packages. Depending on the amount you feel will be necessary for your child's school projects is the size you should purchase. These conical tip broadline washable markers make thick or thin lines. These classics are described as the worlds most washable markers. Stains wash out like a dream, customers reported. They're big and fat so little hands can easily hold to them. When regularly capped after each use they should last your child pretty much throughout the whole school year. Amazon customers gave these washable markers a 5 star review. They are readily available wherever school supplies are sold, including amazon.com.

Eco Products Washable Markers: For the Eco-friendly crowd these washable markers are ideal. The non toxic washable markers are made in the USA from 25% recycled plastic products. The duplex tips draw thick or thin lines and can be rejuvenated by dipping the tip in water if they start to dry out. They come in the 8 classic colors your child uses on a regular basis. They are packaged in 100% post consumer recycled material. They are manufactured by Liqu-Mark and available on Stubby Studio Pencils.com for $3.99, which I think is a very reasonable price for this Eco-friendly back to school item.

Sargent Art 22-1525 200 Ct. Washable Marker Set: This large set of washable markers is ideal for the classroom supply list. It's a very nice assortment of AP Certified non-toxic washable markers. It comes in an assortment of 25 ea. of the 8 classic colors any classroom can use. These easily wash away from fabric and skin and are available with the conical tips that can produce narrow or broad lines. You can also purchase these in a 10 ct. broad tip classic pack. I found them on amazon.com.

48 Ct. Crayola "Trayola" Washable Fine Line Markers: These are great for classrooms, groups, camps, clubs etc. The convenient, reusable, stackable essential markers with a plastic tray are perfect for coloring, drawing and lessons that require precision. Each tray has 6 each of 8 different washable classic color markers. Amazon.com had these, but they are also available in select school supply stores.

This selection of the best washable markers for back to school was based partially on customers reviews posted on amazon.com and ratings from kyleahshop.com/washablemarkers/ratings as well as my grandchildren's expertise comments.
