Are the markers that come with it washable? I am looking to get this for my 2.5 yr old that likes to trace.

NO. These are not the same markers as the Crayola washable dry erase markers. These are regular dry erase markers. They have the regular dry erase marker smell which is way too strong to use in the car. My granddaughter got some of the red marker on her top and I immediately went to wash it. It took a lot of work to get the marker out as compared to the washable markers, but it did eventually come out. We threw away all the markers that came with this and substituted washable ones. Sadly, the washable ones are too big to fit in the pen slots.

My 2-year old and 4-year old granddaughters both love this activity center. I have had no complaints from my daughter about the markers...and I did buy extra ones (with more colors) that I know are washable. I think they're OK for any kids to use.

I bought this for my grandson, so I'm not actually around when he uses it. I got him dry erase crayons too though because they don't dry out. Sorry, I can't help much. On the plus side, he loves using it.

Hi! I apologize, but I can't actually answer your questions. I purchased the fabric markers for my granddaughter, who is 2 years old, and her mommy is going to be using them. I've actually never tried them.

I haven't tried, but it's not sold as a dry erase marker. It's called washable, like crayola markers.

Easily cleanable. I don't know the exact material used but we have been able to clean off crayon & other markings simply with water & towel.

Yes, The labels wash well with hand washing. The chalk pen will come off, but the label is secure.

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'm looking for them too. I went to the crayola website and didn't see them there. This is a fun toy so I hope they have the markers available somewhere. 2 of our markers dried up after 3 uses (the blue and green one). I wonder if neon crayons would work?

Yes, it's washable. One more thing, my baby used to scratch him toe nails under the plate, and made his big toe nails broken all the time, but I can't think of anyway to stop him from doing that.

I guess it might depend on what kind of fabric the clothes are made of. I have had kids get these markers all over themselves and on bedding. All of it washed out without treatment. These are not permanent markers. The ink is totally washable and erasable on cotton, but maybe not on polyester blends such as a t shirt. My grandkids love these markers and I have white boards for them to color on. They love it, but these markers are messy.

I use a soft damp paper towel, then a dry paper towel. The paints also wash out of clothes.It's not paints. It's markers. They're just real juicy. Totally washable in my experience.

I have purchased several of these as gifts to accompany the book but never washed one myself. Observation, however, is the toy looks as if it should wash fine. Sorry no more specific info.

I would hand wash, I'd guess that detergent would eventually wipe out the markings. Takes no time to wipe off the probe. Package does not say dishwasher safe or hand wash either.

I use permanent markers on mine and it comes off when I hand wash it. Dishwasher works okay, but might take a couple of cycles because there is no direct contact. Dry erase comes off very easily, so wet erase would be better if you are concerned about permanent markers.

Show your child how to use them. It's supposed to be mess free. It says washable so I would use soap and water on his or her hands.

As for regular pen marks you perhaps may need to wash with regular soap and water then scrub or put into laundry but not the dryer. Kids will be kids, try not to allow them the usage of regular pen and markers on this kind of surface mat. Best wishes!

Not sure.... I turned A pack of 2-6 year old lose on these canvases with tempura and finger paint and had no issues. Canvas is pretty thick, but we didn't put any kind of markers anywhere near the wild kid-beasts, lol....

They are special gel markers formulated to perform well on the display surface, but will work on other surfaces as well: paper, walls, glass, clothing and skin. So toddlers should not be allowed to use them! LOL!
