We mostly use crayons and paint because I'm so scared of markers. I have good reason though. I've too often left my marking pens where someone could get them, and now my couch (our one piece of nice purchased furniture) is covered in permanent ink.

I never thought about it that way. We use crayong around here more becuase of the mess factor but I am dealing with a 18 month old...Maybe colored pencils are another good option?

Thanks for pointing it out. Crayola should come up with a product that connects the markers together to make them a bit like tinkertoys. Then we could build with the old crayons and extend their life and Crayola'd make money from us parents buying the connecting pieces so they'd be happy too 😛
Maybe I should email them my suggestion...
Markers are just irresistible and there's no way my 2 yrld could live without them. Their colors are just so bright and vivid compared to crayons and colored pencils.

I love Crayola, but they really do not seem concerned about the number of markers winding up in landfills. Maybe if enough people write to complain? You've gotten me thinking; I'm off to write to them now...
