washable markers

Soap-removable coloring tools

Washable markers are colored writing instruments designed so their ink can be removed from skin, clothing, and most surfaces with soap and water.

Marketed primarily for children, they reduce the permanence of artistic mishaps: The washable markers came right out of his shirt.

The washability varies—some stains require more effort than others.
