Jenny's Crayon Collection: Washable Markers

Kid Made Modern Color Library Crayons and Double-Pointed Markers

I was able to meet with Kid Made Modern at Toy Fair this year. I was so lucky to add a few pieces of Kid Made Modern to my website. The Crayon Library is beautiful and the Washable Double-Pointed markers come in a really neat case. I have tested other crayons before, cue the disappointment with the Andy Warhol crayons. I was really anxious to see the colors in the crayon library. What would they look like? Would their colors be as vibrant as the packaging?

Here is the pretty inside of the crayon library. So pretty!

Here is my test of the crayons. I was so happy when I colored with them. They were all super vibrant and the colors were the most part different. The laydown was super smooth and not flaky. I was impressed. The yellows were the colors that were the most similar. The colors were not named so I numbered them. They could also be labeled on the side with the corresponding number.

Here are the dual ended markers. They have a thin and thick tip. The markers are hexagonal shaped.

Here are all the colors, thick on the left and thin on the right. They all have names. I would use the thin tip side for my planner. The colors were super vibrant and colorfast.

All in all I was super happy with these products from Kid Made Modern. I will be posting about the other products soon. There were some confetti crayons and gem and rock crayons.

Here is the back and top of the boxes for the crayons and the markers.

Kid's First Markers and Crayons: What's Inside the Box

In 1997 Crayola came out withe a line of crayons and markers called Kid's First. This line came in regular and bright colors crayons. It was specifically marketed for kids 1 to 3 with a large crayon size. Crayola also emphasized that these crayons were washable. They gave the crayons fun names to appeal to the young children. The bright colors were fluorescent and named: Magic Magenta, Pinkasaurus, Rocket Red, Goldfish Orange, Sunshine Yellow, Gator Green, Balloon Blue, Purplepotomus. The regular colors were named; Birdie Blue, Bunny Brown, Candy Apple Red, Grape Juice Purple, Kitty Cat Black, Leap Frog Green, Pumpkin Orange, School Bus Yellow. I do not know if the markers were creatively named, but they did feature pictures like the crayons did.

Crayola Scented Markers: What's Inside the Box

In 1993 Crayola came out with a line of Scented Markers. At the same time they were releasing a line of scented crayons, the Magic Scents. Crayola stopped making scented crayons a few years later until 2017 when they came out with the new Silly Scent line of Twistable crayons. Crayola has been making scented markers for a long time since. Even when they stopped making specific boxes they still included scented markers with Super Tips markers.

These boxes include many fun scents. The outdoor scents even include calamine lotion. Why anyone would want to smell that is beyond me, but that is what they put in.

Crayola Multicultural Colored Pencils and Markers: What's Inside the Box

Crayola introduced the Multicultural line in 1990. On their website it says, "Crayola introduced Multicultural Crayons in response to feedback received from consumers and educators. The colors were chosen from our standard selection, and represent skin tones of the world. Black and white are included for blending other color." Most of these are standard colors, but it is amazing that Crayola put the colors in a unique box. There are also paints, crayons, model magic and markers in this series.

I bought the Ultra-Clean Washable markers at the Crayola store. I had held of off on buying them because they were a little pricier than the other Ultra-Clean markers. Crayola has been making the multicultural line for years. I know have the crayons, colored pencils and markers.

Crayola Ultra-Clean Washable Markers Color MAX: What's Inside the Box

In 2014 Crayola came out with the Ultra-Clean Washable Markers ColorMAX. I love washable markers and would recommend them all day. My son usually colors with them and when he is done I grab a wet paper towel and wipe it up. That easy. I like all the different assortments of colors in the Bold, Bright, Classic and Tropical colors. The best time of year to get these is during the Back to School sales. They are so much cheaper.

Crayola Ultra-Clean Washable Fine Tip Markers: What's Inside the Box

In 2014 Crayola came out with a new line of markers and crayons called Ultra-Clean Washable ColorMax Markers. They still have the Washable markers available, but these markers sound like they are supposed to be even more washable and have more bright colors. I love markers for kids. They are so easy to use and so easy to wash. I can not tell you how many times I have washed them, because it is not an arduous task, unlike taking crayon off the wall. I still have some spots that need to be cleaned. I love fine line markers, they are so versatile and can be used for writing and for coloring.

8 Count Crayola Crystal Effects Window Markers: What's Inside the Box

My daughter absolutely loves the Crayola Crystal Effects Window Markers. These markers are different than the regular window markers. When used they do not show up very well. After they warm up they crystallize. I can definitely see why they put Olaf on the front of the box for the newer series. Though they really should have put Elsa, she was the one that froze things. Regardless, my daughter loves them. She loves Frozen and loves these markers. During the winter they crystallize slower and during the summer they crystallize quicker. The finished product depends on how the marker is held and how the stroke is applied. I think they are a little easier to use for kiddos when it is a little colder. That way they can color more.

20 Count Crayola Super Tips Markers: What's Inside the Box

I got these 20 count Crayola Super Tips markers as a gift. The fine tip markers are my favorite markers, and Super Tips did not disappoint. Sadly I let people use these markers and they got lost. This is not the first box of Super Tips, I know they came out around the late 90's or early 2000's. An one thing that super bugs me that I say every time is these markers are not labeled with color names. That drives me crazy.

8 Count Crayola Window Markers: What's Inside the Box

The Crayola Window Markers came out in 2001 and are still being manufactured. Originally they were packaged in a zippered bag. The marker is applied to the window and the color is very vibrant. To remove the ink I use window cleaner.

My husband bought me the Crayola Window Markers a few years back. I loved them and used them often. Eventually however after many years of use they no longer work. I threw away the ones that did not work, and kept a few that did. Now these ones do not work. I am going to keep them, just for the collection. I love them a lot. The new ones do not seem to write as dark and I prefer the windows crystal effects markers or windows crayons. Even though the colors names are the same. I wonder if they are the same ones and I am just remembering how they draw differently. It is interesting that they are marked as washable, but have a stain advisement on the back.

I have not opened these yet, because of the packaging. I think Crayola really needs to stop making this packaging, because it is hard to store and once opened they are everywhere. I will probably end up opening them soon however because I really want to color with them!
