The Marker Parker is designed to be used with standard broad tip markerslike those from Crayola. It is not designed to be used with fine tip markers or markers with extra-wide caps like those from Mr. Sketch.

One Marker Parker can hold up 10 broad tip markers.

We recommend laying the Marker Parker on its side during use. Your child can grab the Marker Parker with one hand and the marker with their other hand. It’s important to pull the marker straight out as opposed to wiggling it out.

Grab the marker and cap and wiggle it around and up. If you have trouble removing it, just use the eraser end of a pencil and push the marker through the hole from the bottom.

The tapered, tightly fitting silicone holders grip the marker caps, allowing your little one to remove the marker without removing its cap. Also, its fun design encourages kids to put their markers back where they belong. 

The Marker Parker fits broad tip markers typically used by toddlers, preschoolers, and children in elementary school.

Absolutely! You can easily remove all the markers from the caps for your child at the beginning of art time, then gently place them back in without fully clicking the markers into their caps. When your little one uses each marker, they can just place it gently back into the cap like you did. When they’re done with art time, you can snap the markers into the caps for them. Using the strategy alone will help your little one learn to put their markers back even before they can do it entirely by themselves.

Yes, it’s 100% silicone and free of BPA, Phthalates, PVC and Lead.

If washable ink gets on the Marker Parker, you can simply wipe it clean with water or even throw it in the top rack of the dishwasher. If dust collects on it, just use a little tape to remove it.

3.5” (L) x 2.5” (W) 1.5” (H) without markers inserted. With markers inserted, the height increases to 6”. Even with markers inserted, it will fit into a standard side pocket of a backpack for use on the go. It’s great for use at restaurants when you’re trying to keep your little one occupied!
