FAQs
How many markers are in one pack?
Each pack contains 12 Crayola Broad Line Markers of the same color (Violet in this case).
What is the recommended age for these markers?
These markers are safe and nontoxic for children aged 3 and up.
Can I use these markers for detailed drawing?
The conical tip is versatile, but it is a broad line marker, making it best suited for larger areas. For very fine details, finer-tipped markers might be more appropriate.
Do these markers smudge easily?
No, Crayola Broad Line Markers are designed to lay down plenty of color without smudging or bleeding through paper.
How should I store the markers?
Always recap the markers tightly after use. Store them horizontally or tip-up to maintain ink flow and prevent drying.
Are these markers washable?
These markers are non-toxic. While they are designed to be less messy, ink on skin or clothing should be washed promptly with soap and water.
Can I buy other colors in this broad line format?
Yes, Crayola offers Broad Line Markers in a variety of colors, typically sold in similar 12-count packs.
Troubleshooting
Marker is dry or not coloring
Ensure the cap was replaced immediately after the last use. Try storing the marker tip-up for 24 hours to allow ink to flow to the tip. If still dry, the marker may have reached the end of its lifespan.
Ink bleeding through paper
While designed to minimize bleeding, very thin paper may still allow some bleed-through. Try using a heavier weight paper or placing a protective sheet underneath while coloring.
Uneven color application
Check the marker tip for damage or dried ink buildup. Clean the tip gently with a slightly damp cloth if necessary. Ensure consistent pressure is applied during use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These markers require no setup. Simply remove them from the packaging and they are ready for use.
Compatibility: Crayola Broad Line Markers are designed for use on paper. They are compatible with most standard paper types, including construction paper, drawing paper, and cardstock. While they are formulated to minimize bleed-through, using heavier weight paper is recommended for extensive coloring to ensure the best results.
Care:
- Storage: Always recap the markers tightly after each use to prevent the tips from drying out. Store them horizontally or tip-up to ensure even ink flow.
- Cleaning: If ink gets on skin, wash gently with soap and water. For clothing, treat stains immediately according to fabric care instructions, often with soap and cold water before washing.
- Tip Care: Avoid pressing too hard on the marker tip, as this can damage it and affect its performance.
