Our four live dot marker kits
Chalkola's four live dot marker kits start at $12.95 for the 6-pack for toddlers 1-3 and scale up to $55.95 for the 50-marker classroom bulk pack. All four use the same washable, AP-certified, non-toxic water-based ink — the differences are marker count, included activity book, and colour mix (bright vs. bright + shimmer).

Frequently asked questions
Which Chalkola dot marker kit should I buy first?
For ages 1-3, start with the 6-pack for Toddlers 1-3 ($12.95) — chunky barrels sized for little hands. For preschoolers 3-5, the 8-pack with 20-page activity book ($16.95) is the most popular first set — it ships with a real printed book you can work through together.
What's the difference between the 8-pack and the 16-pack?
The 16-pack ($32.95) adds eight metallic shimmer colours on top of eight brights, and ships with a 50-page printed activity book instead of a 20-page one. Pick the 8-pack for a clean starter kit and the 16-pack if your kid loves sparkle, makes a lot of cards, or you want more variety for a wider age range.
Are dot markers safe for toddlers?
Yes — every Chalkola dot marker uses AP-certified non-toxic, water-based ink that washes off skin, clothes, and surfaces with soap and water. The 6-pack is designed specifically for ages 1-3 with chunky easy-grip barrels. Adult supervision is still recommended under age 3.
Do the activity books work with any brand of dot markers?
Yes — our printable pages are designed around the standard 15-mm dot size, which is the industry norm. They work with any other washable dot marker set that uses the standard 15-mm tip.
What's in the 50-marker classroom bulk pack?
The 50-marker bulk pack ($55.95) ships with 10 colours including gold, plus 5 themed activity books (alphabet learning, animals, numbers and shapes, sea life, transport) totalling 100+ pages. One kit covers a full daycare, preschool, or homeschool group without rationing.
How long does the ink last?
Stored horizontally with caps tight, Chalkola dot markers typically last 12-18 months of regular home use before the tip dries out. Classroom use is shorter — plan on 6-9 months of daily group sessions per barrel. Replacements are inexpensive and every set ships with a fresh activity book.
Do dot markers build fine motor skills?
Yes — the press-and-dab motion is a gentle isometric exercise that strengthens grip and hand-eye coordination. Unlike pens and crayons, dot markers don't require grip strength to start, so younger toddlers can succeed immediately and build strength through repeat play. Teachers and occupational therapists use them for this reason.

What families say about Chalkola dot markers
“Bought these for my 18-month-old and she loves them. The chunky barrels are perfect for tiny hands and the ink really does wash off clothes. No mess, no tears.”
“The physical activity book is such a nice surprise — my 3-year-old worked through it in a week and then we printed more PDFs. Colors are vibrant and they don't bleed.”
“Love that this set has both regular and shimmer colors. My daughter uses the shimmer ones for birthday cards and the brights for her preschool worksheets. 50-page book is a huge bonus.”
“I teach pre-K and the 50-pack plus 5 activity books covers my whole classroom. Washable on little hands and on our tables — a real lifesaver for rainy-day art time.”
