Our review

Crayola Washable Markers 40 Count give young artists an enormous palette to explore without the household stress that usually comes with marker time. This set bundles broad, vivid color spectrums alongside softer pastel and classic tones, so kids can shade skies, skin tones, animals and imaginary worlds with real variety instead of settling for a handful of primary hues. Each marker is filled with Crayola's signature washable formula, meaning the fun stays on the paper and not permanently on shirts, hands or walls. The conical tips are designed specifically for children's hands, gliding smoothly across paper, poster board and craft projects while resisting the drying-out that cheaper markers suffer from when caps are left off for a few minutes. Color laydown is bold and consistent from the first stroke to the last, which keeps drawings looking vibrant whether it's a quick doodle or an hour-long coloring session. The barrels are sized for smaller fingers, encouraging proper grip habits early on. Built for home, school and classroom use, this 40-count set is a practical restock for art bins, homeschool supply drawers or teacher reward stations. Parents appreciate that spills and accidental marks on skin or washable fabrics wipe away with mild soap and water, turning what used to be a source of anxiety into an easy cleanup. It's a dependable, kid-tested staple that keeps creativity flowing without the usual mess-related headaches.

Lifesaver for messy artists

My daughter draws constantly and these washed right out of her school uniform without any scrubbing. The color range is impressive for the price.

Great value pack

Forty colors is plenty for our homeschool art projects. A couple of markers arrived slightly dry but the rest work perfectly.

Classroom favorite

I keep these in my kindergarten classroom and they hold up well to daily use. Kids love the variety of shades available.

Good but caps could be sturdier

The washable ink is fantastic on our couch cushions, though the storage case latch broke after a few months of active use.
