Peppa Pig fibre-tip pens from Staedtler's Noris junior range, designed for the youngest fibre-tip users - ages two and up. Chunky barrel, ultra-washable ink, and a safety cap that meets a specific European standard most parents have never heard of but should know about.
A quirky bit of trivia - the vented safety cap meets ISO 11540, the standard introduced after several toddler choking incidents in the 1980s. The hole in the top of the cap is mandated so that if a child does swallow the cap, they can still breathe through it. Every reputable felt-tip pen aimed at under-fives has this; most parents don't know to look for it.
Practical description - The barrel is a thick hexagonal shape, comfortable for a fist grip (which is how two-year-olds hold pens before they learn the tripod grip around age four). The water-based ink washes out of cotton at 30degC, which is technically true and worth treating with caution - test on an old t-shirt first. The colours are saturated, not pale and washed-out the way value-pack felt tips often are.
How to use - Take the cap off. Press the tip to paper. Repeat. The pens recover after a few minutes if a cap is left off briefly; lost for an afternoon and they'll be dry.
Specifications - 6 or 12 colours. Hexagonal barrel. Ultra-washable, water-based ink. Vented safety cap to ISO 11540. Recommended for ages 2+. Made in Germany.
