Dan&Darci Marker Making Kit — DIY Custom Markers for Kids Ages 6-12
Mix It. Shake It. Draw With Your Own Custom Markers.

Can the markers be refilled?
Yes — barrels are designed to be opened and refilled with new custom colours again and again.
What age is this best for?
Ideal for ages 6-12. Adult supervision recommended during ink mixing to keep things tidy.
