A couple of weeks ago, we had a playdate at Mia's house and Maya had her first experience with markers.
Mama Michelle pointed out they were washable ones, and yes, her clothes did come out clean, and so was their dinner table after she wiped it down when they were done. I was instantly a fan. And well, Maya was hooked. I got some for her, and she now spends ALOT of time in her hi-chair drawing. She calls them crayons, but in Maya-speak it kinda sounds like "nail", knows exactly where we keep them and loves to play with the tops stuck on her fingers while saying "top!" after shes done with her masterpiece.
