Our resident Mom O The Year has found an alternative to the Sharpie for writing meet info on your kids! Nicole Seitz is making the trip to Woodstock in the morning to purchase some of these markers, please respond to this blast if you also want some, details below. One pack is $11.41 with tax and includes 4 markers in a mesh bag (black, red, blue, green)
Kids like to have fun and Take Your Mark skin markers for body marking are a great way for young swimmers to show their team spirit as well as marking their event numbers at swim meets so they don't miss their event.
The markers are water proof and sweat proof yet come off easily by rubbing with a damp rag or with common hand sanitizer. The marker comes with a removable and reversible tip. The bullet tip provides an 1/8" mark while the chisel tip provides both fine and broad marking options. The ink also washes out of most clothing. Unlike permanent markers and art markers which can contain harmful chemicals, Take Your Mark Sports markers use ink made with FDA compliant cosmetic ingredients making them safe for use on skin. All colorants used in Take Your Mark marker inks are approved for cosmetic use as regulated by the Color Additives Amendment to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and listed in appropriate sections of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations. All non-colorant ingredients used in Take Your Mark marker inks are either generally recognized as safe, or are direct or indirect additives to foods as listed in those sections of the Code of Federal Regulations 21 CFR 170-189. A complete ingredients listing can be found on the product label.
