Frequently Asked Questions
Are these markers safe for my 5-year-old to use without supervision?
Yes. The Sharpie Color Burst markers are AP-certified non-toxic, meaning they meet the Art and Creative Materials Institute's safety standards for children. Parents can hand them to kids ages 5 and up for art and school projects without worrying about harmful chemicals, though very young children should still be supervised to prevent them from drawing on walls or putting caps in their mouths.
Will the ink wash off my child's hands or clothes if there is an accident?
The ink is permanent and water-resistant once dry, so it will not wash out of fabrics easily. We recommend having kids wear an art smock or old shirt while using the markers. For skin, a little soap, warm water, and gentle scrubbing usually removes fresh marks, but dried ink may take a couple of days to fade naturally.
Is the fine tip easy for small hands to control, or is it better for older kids?
The round ambidextrous barrel is designed with a smooth grip that works well for both small hands and adults, and it is comfortable for left- and right-handed users alike. Younger kids may need a little practice to control the ultra-fine tip, but it is excellent for building fine motor skills during coloring and writing activities.
Can my child use these markers on a coloring book or worksheet without the ink bleeding through?
Because the ink is permanent and quick-drying, light pressure on standard coloring book pages usually keeps bleed-through to a minimum. For thinner printer paper, we recommend placing a scrap sheet underneath to protect the next page, which is a good habit for any permanent marker.
What happens if my child loses the cap? Will the marker dry out quickly?
Like all permanent markers, the Color Burst tips will dry out faster if left uncapped. We recommend teaching kids to recap immediately after use. A lost cap for a few hours will not necessarily ruin the marker, but days without a cap will make the tip unusable, so consider storing the set in a pencil pouch or cup between uses.
Is this marker set a good choice for my child's kindergarten or first-grade supply list?
Yes, this 24-count set covers the variety most teachers ask for, and the AP-certified formula meets the non-toxic requirement common on school supply lists. The ultra-fine tip is also great for early writers learning to form letters neatly.
Do you have a marker set that is actually washable for younger kids who draw on walls?
This particular set uses permanent, water-resistant ink designed to last on artwork, labels, and school projects, so it is not a washable formula. For toddlers or kids prone to drawing on furniture, we recommend a washable marker line as a safer alternative for those specific situations.
Is the Color Burst set safer than a standard pack of permanent markers?
Both this set and standard Sharpie permanent markers carry the same AP-certified non-toxic formula, so the safety profile is identical. The difference is the inclusion of 5 exclusive Color Burst shades that deliver more vibrant color, while still meeting the same child-safety standards parents expect.
Can I let my kids use these markers on their bedroom walls or furniture?
We do not recommend using permanent markers on walls, wood furniture, or upholstery, since the water- and fade-resistant ink is designed to be long-lasting. If you want to encourage wall art, consider taping large craft paper to the wall as a designated drawing surface.
What if my child is allergic to certain inks or has sensitive skin?
The AP-certified formula is tested to be non-toxic and safe under normal use, but if your child has a known sensitivity to dyes or ink ingredients, we recommend doing a small skin test or consulting your pediatrician before extended marker play.
Will the markers stain my kitchen table or craft table?
The permanent ink can stain porous surfaces such as unfinished wood or certain plastics if left on for extended periods. We suggest placing a craft mat, placemat, or sheet of paper under your child's project to keep tables clean.
How do I store this set so my younger child cannot get into it unsupervised?
Because the ink is permanent and not washable, we recommend storing the markers in a high drawer, a latched craft bin, or a pencil case that smaller siblings cannot easily access. The set's compact round barrel makes it easy to fit in most standard art supply organizers.
Is the fine tip safe, or could my child hurt themselves if they press too hard?
The ultra-fine tip is a soft fiber point, not a sharp or metal nib, so it will not puncture skin with normal use. The round barrel is smooth and free of sharp edges, making it a comfortable and safe choice for kids learning to write and draw.
How do I get the best results when first using a new Sharpie Color Burst marker?
Remove the cap, hold the marker at a slight angle, and press gently on a scrap piece of paper for a second or two to prime the ultra-fine tip and get the ink flowing. Once the line is consistent, move to your project surface. Recap immediately after use to prevent the tip from drying out.
How should I store the markers to make them last as long as possible?
Store the markers horizontally in a cool, dry place with caps firmly secured. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight, hot cars, or freezing temperatures, as extreme temperatures can affect ink flow and tip performance. A desk cup, caddy, or dedicated marker case works well for keeping them organized and ready to use.
What is the best way to remove Sharpie ink if I make a mistake?
On skin, soap and warm water usually remove fresh marks. On non-porous surfaces like plastic, metal, or glass, rubbing alcohol, hand sanitizer, or a magic eraser works well. On fabric, the permanent ink is difficult to fully remove, so we recommend testing on a hidden area or using a designated art smock to prevent accidents.
Do these markers work on fabric, glass, or fabric shoes?
The markers are designed for paper, plastic, metal, and similar surfaces. They can write on glass and some fabrics, but the ink may not bond permanently without a heat set or fixative, and results vary by material. For fabric projects, we recommend a marker line specifically labeled for textiles to ensure wash-fast results.
Are the markers compatible with coloring books designed for fine-tip pens?
Yes, the ultra-fine point works beautifully in adult coloring books, detailed mandalas, and fine illustration work. The permanent ink means your finished pages will not smear or rub off once dry, which is a bonus if you plan to display or gift your artwork.
What is included in the 24-count Sharpie Color Burst set?
The set includes 24 ultra-fine point permanent markers: 19 classic Sharpie colors plus 5 exclusive vibrant Color Burst shades. Everything you need comes in the box, and the markers are ready to use right out of the package, so you do not need to buy anything else to get started.
Are these markers safe to use indoors, and do they have a strong odor?
The AP-certified non-toxic formula has a mild, typical permanent marker scent that dissipates quickly with normal ventilation. For prolonged use in small or poorly ventilated spaces, we recommend opening a window or taking short breaks, just as you would with any permanent marker.
How long do Sharpie Color Burst markers typically last with regular use?
With proper capping and horizontal storage, a single marker can last for months of regular coloring, labeling, and drawing. Lighter colors and shades used for filling large areas may run out faster than darker colors used for fine detail. Buying the 24-count set ensures you always have a backup of your most-used shades.
What is the difference between ultra-fine point and fine point Sharpie markers?
Ultra-fine point tips produce a narrower line, typically around 0.5 mm, which is ideal for detailed writing, outlining, and small-scale illustration. Fine point tips are slightly broader, usually around 0.8 to 1.0 mm, and are better for everyday writing and labels that need to be read from a short distance. Choosing between them depends on the level of detail your project requires.
