Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this kit suitable for all ages?
It is generally recommended for children who have developed the fine motor skills necessary for assembly, typically ages 6 and up, ideally with adult guidance.
Can I replace the ink once it runs out?
These highlighters are designed as a DIY craft project and are typically not intended for long-term refillable use.
What is included in the box?
The kit includes all necessary highlighter barrels, tips, ink reservoirs, and themed decorative accessories needed to complete the project.
Are the markers non-toxic?
Yes, Clementoni products are manufactured to meet safety standards for children's toys, ensuring materials are safe for creative play.
Can I use these for professional work?
While fully functional, they are primarily intended for casual use, school projects, or hobbyist journaling.
Troubleshooting
Highlighter tip feels dry
Ensure the marker tip has been correctly seated and allow it to sit cap-down for a few minutes to let the ink saturate the nib.
Decorative accessories are falling off
Verify that all adhesive components were pressed firmly into place during assembly; if necessary, use a small amount of non-toxic craft glue to reinforce them.
Marker ink is bleeding through paper
Check that the ink reservoir is not over-saturated and apply lighter pressure when using the highlighter on thinner paper types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a clean, flat surface to lay out all components. Follow the provided assembly instructions sequentially to ensure the internal ink reservoirs and tips are positioned correctly to prevent leaking. It is recommended to keep the cap securely on the markers when not in use to prolong the lifespan of the ink. To maintain the decorative elements, avoid submerging the finished highlighters in water, as this may degrade the adhesive or surface decorations. Store the finished markers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
