Sundae-Scented Markers

Mr. Sketch's Washable Markers Channel Ice Cream Colors and Scents

— July 2, 2015 — Life-Stages
Scented markers have been accessible to kids for decades, but now Mr. Sketch is offering a more curated collection of washable watercolor utensils to children. The six-pack ice cream color set includes a variety of pleasing ice cream-inspired flavors, from chocolate to strawberry, mint chocolate chip and lemon ice—as well as one novel stinky blue cheese flavor to delight kids.

Even when the ink from the marker's chisel tip has dried after drawing, the scents still linger behind. For easy clean-up, the markers easily wash off of skin and clothing.

With the launch of this themed marker set, it's easy to imagine that a whole range of other dessert, snack and drink scents that could be made, making it possible for artful drawings to both look and smell very real.
