Please tell me that washable markers are not toxic.

I just caught DD2 sucking on a washable marker. Her entire mouth/face area is orange! It does NOT say non-toxic on the marker and I don't have the package it came in. WDYT?

  • call poison control if you are concerned, but my guess is they are non toxic..most things made for kids that may get put in a mouth ARE non-toxic from what I've seen.

  • is it crayola? ?because i can't imagine any crayola product not being non-toxic.

  • I went ahead and called poison control. They are non-toxic. I thought they would be, but I just wanted to be safe.
  • Done that a few times now.  They're non-toxic.  I walk away when the girls are coloring to go the bathroom or throw on a load of wash or whatever.  Come back to DD#2 covered in blue...including her tongue, teeth, etc.  Crayons aren't any better b/c she chews on them when she's teething, but she colors nicely whenever I'm watching.
