Ok, I admit I write about Sharpie a bunch. I love the product, and with good reason. It just goes everywhere and solves problems. Plus, it's SO MUCH FUN. If you have kids, and they are intereseted in art lessons, don't hesitate. Find a school near you for after school and weekend classes. I want to point to our friends at Art Time again to show what your kids can accomplish with a Sharpie. See? Wouldn't you love to be able to do that? 

Here is a nice starter set of basic colors:

The beauty of the product is how inexpensive it is to buy so kids can have a wonderful time at home drawing. It's fun and it exercises the brain in new ways. Try having them make up a story and then draw the pictures to go with it. Or YOU can make up the story and let them illustrate. It's a fun family project that will bring smiles to everyone.

I also love the stainless steel sharpie pens. One has an ultra fine tip and the other is a regular Sharpie in a metal case. That one is refillable. Let's take a look before we say more:

Here's the Sharpie Stainless Steel pen. Isn't that gorgeous?  Both techie and chic!

Nest is the wonderful, useful, Stainless Steel refillable sharpie in a weather proof container.

I love this jazzy marker. You can clip it in a pocket without fear of marking clothing. You can refill it easily and have a great marking tool handy. AND, with the price on this site,  I can't think of any reason not to have one.
