The chalk markers took a couple of minutes to get working as you have to shake them and press them up and down\u00a0but once they did there were no issues with them drying up, the ink flowed consistently and they worked great for us on glass, as you can see.\r\n\r\nThe chunky size made them easy for the girls to hold and use, they had a nice design on them and they came in a wide range of bright and fun colours, which they absolutely loved.\r\n\r\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14474 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Marker-review.jpg\" alt=\"Chalkola Chalk Markers Review\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Marker-review.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Marker-review-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Marker-review-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Marker-review-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Marker-review-330x330.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Marker-review-136x136.jpg 136w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\r\n\r\nThey are best used on non-porous walls, windows, mirrors, blackboards and whiteboards and wipe clean easily.
