Mr. Sketch Scented Washable Markers is a Lifesaver

My 4 year old daughter loves to color and has many different coloring books. Most of the time, she would use only crayons because I found her drawing on herself with a pen one day and that's when I limited her to crayons only.

Since I received a free sample of Mr. Sketch Scented Washable Markers, I decided that I would give her a chance to use markers again since they claim to be washable.





The first time opening the package, I was amazed by the smell of all kinds of different flavors. It was amazing how strong each markers scent was.

There are 10 different color markers that have 10 different scents:

Pink- Watermelon
Light Blue- Fruit Punch
Red- Cherry
Dark Blue- Blueberry
Orange- Orange ( of course 😀)
Yellow- Banana
Brown- Cinnamon
Green- Mint
Black- Licorice

Now seeing that I know that my daughter will get the colors on her, I was just waiting for it so I could see if they were really washable.

It took about five minutes and I got my wish. I had some baby wipes next to me and I though there was no way that they would take the color off her arm but I was wrong!

I didn't have to scrub hard at all and the color came right off. Then I noticed that she got some pink on the couch and I knew that there was no way it would come off. Wrong again! On the couch, I had to scrub a little harder with the baby wipe but it worked.

Now on the package it states:

Washable & Care Instructions:

Mr. Sketch scented washable markers wash from skin and most washable children's clothing. Wash promptly for best results. Repeat washing may be required. Keep away from wallpaper, painted walls, finished and unfinished wood, vinyl, carpeting, and other materials that cannot be laundered.

I don't recommend testing these markers on your couch because not all couches are the same but it did come off my couch.

My daughter has fallen in love with these markers. She has a Shopkins coloring book and when she saw a strawberry she said, "Strawberries are red and the red marker smells like a strawberry!" even though the red marker is actually cherry. To me, the red smells like a strawberry slushy.



I love that these are washable and that they are teaching my daughter how to put color to smells. They are perfect for kids four years old and older because the cap could be harmful to kids younger than four.

These markers would make the perfect gift if you have an artist in the making. Not only does it help with a child's imagination but it also helps them to recognize colors and smells.

Have you tried these markers? Tell me about your experience with them.
