Staedtler Lumocolour Non-Permanent Medium Pen (Pack of 10) Black
StaedtlerMarkers: Your essential buying guide
Washable water-based markers are usually the most practical choice for children’s colouring and craft activities. Look for chunky barrels for younger hands, ventilated caps where relevant, and assorted colours for general use.
Alcohol-based markers are popular for smooth blending, illustration and layered colour, but they can bleed through thin paper. Water-based markers are often better for everyday colouring, school crafts and easier clean-up.
Fine tips are useful for outlines, details and neat writing, while brush tips suit lettering, calligraphy and expressive strokes. Chisel tips work well for posters, signs and broad colour coverage.
Some markers are designed for card, wood, glass, ceramic, fabric or plastic, but it depends on the ink. Check whether the product is described as permanent, paint, textile, glass or multi-surface before choosing it for a specific material.
Compare the number of colours, nib types, ink base, whether the markers are refillable or dual-ended, and the surfaces they are suitable for. For frequent use, also consider storage cases and whether replacement colours are easy to match.

Markers cover everything from simple colouring pens to specialist art and craft tools. The best choice depends on who will use them, the surface they will be used on and the finish you want to achieve.
Water-based markers are a good all-round option for colouring, sketchbooks, school projects and casual craft use. They tend to be easier to handle for younger users and are often chosen where clean-up matters.
Alcohol-based markers are aimed more at illustration, design work and blending. They can create smooth gradients and layered effects, but they may bleed through lightweight paper, so thicker pads or marker paper are worth considering.
Fine-tip markers are best for outlines, labelling and detailed colouring. Brush-tip markers are more flexible, making them suitable for hand lettering, modern calligraphy and varied line widths.
Chisel-tip markers cover larger areas quickly and are useful for posters or display work. Dual-tip sets can be a practical choice if you want both detailed lines and broader colouring in one pen.
Small marker packs can be enough for homework, simple colouring or occasional crafting. Larger sets suit people who want more tonal variety for shading, character art, journalling or decorative projects.
If the markers are for children or shared craft sessions, a balanced pack with common colours may be more useful than a specialist set with lots of similar shades.
Standard colouring markers are usually intended for paper or card. For mugs, glass jars, fabric, stones, wood or plastic, look for markers specifically described for that surface.
Paint markers and permanent markers can be useful for bolder craft effects, but they may not suit every project. Always compare the product details against the material you plan to decorate.
A case or tray can help keep colours organised, especially with larger marker sets. For young children, easy-grip barrels and secure caps can make craft time simpler.
If you use markers regularly, compare whether the set includes replaceable colours, labelled shades or a layout that makes it easy to find the pen you need.
