Should children use dry-erase markers? I use them at work & they give off a powerful chemical smell.Erasure turns it to dust which is breathed in.

I purchased this easel for a 2 and a 4 year old. I did not plan to let them use the dry erase markers at all! We only use that side of the board for magnets. Maybe I will let them use the markers when they are a little older.

I bought this for my grandson, he loves it. The dust from dry erase markers seems harmless to me. Chalk has many more aerosol particles and my kids(now all business owners) never had breathing issues with that.

Crayola makes kid ones. I would assume that those wouldn't smell. They also make dry erase crayons which is what we use. They don't come off as easy as the makers. I use either a wet paper towel or a cleaning wipe and it comes right off. Hope that helps.

I think there are markers specifically for children that have to be non-toxic! I wouldn't use those that smell chemically either.

They are also dry erase crayons now, but you need to use a spray to clean them off nicely.

My whiteboard got left in my Sunday School room, so I tried the marker on the top of my deep freeze. You can erase it with a damp cloth.

No. If it is not properly applied, it can be pushed out of shape when you erase over the top. The adhesive is good, though, so just apply some pressure along the line to make sure you have a good stick. It will not leave marks of its own, but you may want to take care if you are wiping a lot of dry erase from the board because it can leave residue along the edges of the tape. If that happens, you can take a damp (not wet) cloth and run it lightly down the seam where the residue is built up.

if you have chalkboard paint that is painted on a wall and the wall behind the paint is porous (like drywall) you may have trouble removing the chalkers. Also if the backing on the chalkboard you use is porous, you may have issues with it erasing as well. I suggest that you test the chalkers on an inconspicuous spot and leave it overnight before using them on a large area.

Bought a set of Expo markers that included a dry eraser. It also came with solution but I haven't needed to use it yet. The makers erase off with just the dry eraser pretty easily, even after staying on the surface a few months.

I use them. It is easier to use water the get the liquid chalk off, rather than dry erase. But the board is essentially glass, so anything you could use on a window I would think could be used here.

They are very bright and very liquidy markers so if the material you are using is any at all porous, they're going to be difficult to erase entirely. They wipe clean off glass of course. I would say they would wipe clean off chalkboard paper as well since it is 100% non porous.

I usef to use it on a blackboard all the time; writing, erasing. It creates more dust, though, when you erase, since it is thicker.

Frankly, I've used these in other surfaces, but not on regular school boards. I have a chalk board I made in my kids' bedroom's closet door and it worked fine on it. We, however, use a slightly wet cloth to erase which, for purposes of my OCD, helps control any powder flying around the room. This may not be completely helpful information for you, but I can't imagine chalk, liquid or otherwise, not coming off a perfectly normal chalkboard.

I use them on paper and I think they're considered permanent markers so I don't think they would work well as dry erase as might not come off.

I used a chalk marker with this, but I used it with the intention of not erasing. I made signs with it. I would actually recommend the marker over chalk. It gives a brighter, cleaner look.

Honestly, It does have a strong weird chemical smell to them that caused me to stop using them almost right away(Am not really delicate but this one was really strong). I might suggest buying them for use and storage outside because of the smell, but I wouldn't buy them for use with kids at all.

YES! I have done all 88+ sight words from our Kindergarten reading series in Sharpie marker. If you make a mistake you can use WD-40 to wipe off and start again!

How about dry erase markers you use on whiteboards? Pen will be permanent, I'm sure. Dry erase will be able to be wiped off.

The erasers never run out! They work by friction, and so they don't actually lose little pieces like regular rubber erasers. I often erase something and then out of habit brush my hand across the spot to clear away the little bits of eraser... but there's nothing to brush off the paper! The ink will run out, but the eraser will not.

I used a label maker that creates sticker labels. Dry erase would wipe off. Good Luck!
