Full details
The Giotto Turbo Giant Fibre Pens (144 Pack) are designed for young artists, teachers, and classroom settings where durability and color vibrancy are essential. These pens offer the key benefit of a large, robust design with highly washable ink, making them perfect for guilt-free creative play; however, their larger barrel size may be slightly cumbersome for children with very small hands who require more precise pencil-like grips.

FAQs
Are these markers safe for young children?
Yes, they feature a safety cap and non-toxic ink, making them suitable for use by children in supervised settings.
How many colors are included in the 144-pack?
The pack includes 12 assorted vibrant colors to ensure a wide spectrum for any project.
Will these wash out of carpets?
While the ink is formulated to be washable from skin and most fabrics, it is best to clean spills immediately to ensure complete removal.
Can I use these on dry-erase boards?
No, these are fiber pens designed for paper; they will not function as dry-erase markers and may permanently stain whiteboards.
What is the tip size?
Each pen features a 7.5mm conical tip, which is versatile for both large coloring areas and detailed work.
How should I store the pens?
Keep them capped and stored horizontally to ensure the ink remains at the tip for consistent flow.
Troubleshooting
Marker appears to have dry ink
Ensure the cap is tightly replaced and let the marker sit horizontally for one hour; the gravity will help the ink reach the tip.
Ink on hands or clothes
Use warm water and soap; the ink is designed to be washable and should lift easily from most fabrics and skin with minimal scrubbing.
Frayed fiber tip
While the tip is durable, avoid using excessive downward force. Once a tip is frayed, it can rarely be repaired; store the pens away from grit or rough textures to protect the fibers.
Pros and Cons

- High volume pack is perfect for classroom or shared creative spaces
- Ink is fully washable, making cleanup quick and simple
- Robust 7.5mm tips withstand firm pressure from young hands
- Ergonomic barrel helps improve grip and motor control
- Safety caps prevent tip damage and extend product lifespan
Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required; simply unbox the markers and distribute as needed. For long-term care, ensure pens are stored horizontally whenever possible to keep the ink distributed evenly toward the tip. If a pen is left uncapped for a short period, dipping the tip lightly in water can sometimes reactivate the ink. These pens are compatible with most standard art papers, though they may bleed through very thin or low-quality printer paper. Always supervise young children to ensure caps are replaced immediately after use to maximize the product's longevity.
