Crayola Washable Markers, Broad Point, Classic Colors, 8/Pack (58-7808)

[gallery columns="4" orderby="rand"]New BLACK barrel pen body a deal breaker for the young.
My daughter has been using these markers daily for about two weeks.
First off, the performance of this marker set is wonderful. It is everything you should expect from Crayola.

But, this new BLACK barrel has no indication of the color of the ink inside. If your child is not old enough to put the caps back on the marker correctly, the only way to know the ink color is opening the cap, maybe looking at the tip, but, mostly by making a mark.

Would not buy this product again. But, I would happily buy regular (not washable) markers with the BLACK barrel for older children.
Washable? YES!
I cannot comment on the item itself, as I didn't pay much attention to if and how the item works. However, my 3 year old twins got hold of these markers, and while we thought they were taking a nap, they decided to color my (expensive)linen! When I saw the extent of their decorations, I honestly thought that it would not come out, sheets, bed-spreads, pillow cases, the works. For whatever reason, I was not able to wash the linen for THREE days. I soaked each set separately in oxy, then ran it through the washing machine..... and PRAYED!
When I took out the linen from the wash and inspected, I turned it back and forth over and over - I was shocked. There was NOT ONE stain on the linen!
Thank you Crayola for producing washable markers that truly are washable!
Agree with other posters, black barrel is awful for preschoolers.
Same thing here, my 2.5 year old can't match the cap to the base by herself, since the base pen has no color identifier. Yes, I can cap them for her, but she loves cleaning up her own activities! Crayola I like where you are going environmentally, but there has to be a better way to do it.
