Edding 95 Glass Markers – Assorted Colors, Set of 4

Description

The Edding 95 Glass Markers represent German engineering applied to educational tools. These markers feature opaque, water-based ink that writes smoothly on glass surfaces, mirrors, whiteboards, and glazed ceramics with a consistent 1.5-3mm line width. The lightfast, odorless ink dries quickly and wipes clean with a dry cloth, making these markers genuinely reusable rather than consumable supplies.

Unlike chalk markers that require activation or dry-erase markers that can stain, these glass markers are ready to use straight from the package. The round bullet tip provides good control for both detailed work and broader strokes. Made in Germany by Edding, a company with over 50 years of marker manufacturing experience, these tools are built to withstand regular classroom use. The set typically includes four colors: black, light blue, pink, and orange (with some colors offering fluorescent properties under UV light).

Key Features:

• Opaque, water-based ink that won’t fade or ghost
• Dry-wipeable from most glass and non-porous surfaces
• 1.5-3mm round tip for versatile line weights
• No activation required – uncap and use immediately
• Lightfast formulation maintains color integrity
• Made in Germany with quality manufacturing standards

Ways Homeschoolers Can Use These Markers

Transform Your Home into Learning Spaces Turn any glass surface in your home into an instant teaching tool. Sliding glass doors become oversized whiteboards for practicing multiplication tables or diagramming sentences. Bathroom mirrors can display daily vocabulary words or memory verses. Kitchen windows become science charts tracking weather patterns or plant growth observations.

Visual Learning Support For children who learn better through visual methods, glass markers enable parents to create temporary, reusable visual aids anywhere in the home. Draw geometric shapes on windows for math lessons, create word webs on glass doors for literature studies, or sketch historical timelines on mirrors for history discussions. The transparency of glass allows for layered learning – you can write on both sides or overlay concepts.

Reduce Paper Waste and Costs Instead of constantly buying worksheets or printing practice sheets, use glass surfaces for handwriting practice, spelling tests, and math drills. Children can practice letters, numbers, or even cursive writing on mirrors, then easily erase and start fresh. This approach particularly benefits families with multiple children of different ages who can use the same surface for different skill levels.

Interactive Family Learning Create collaborative learning experiences where family members can contribute to the same lesson. Start a timeline on a sliding door and have children add events as they learn them. Use glass surfaces for family brainstorming sessions about science projects or book discussions. The large format encourages participation from children who might hesitate to write on paper.

Fine Motor Skill Development The substantial 3mm tip provides good feedback for younger children still developing pencil grip and control. Writing on vertical glass surfaces also helps strengthen shoulder and arm muscles that support proper handwriting posture. The immediate visual feedback helps children self-correct letter formation more effectively than traditional worksheets.

Seasonal and Holiday Learning Transform windows into seasonal displays that serve educational purposes. Create fall leaf identification charts, Christmas countdowns with daily Bible verses, or spring science observations. The temporary nature means decorations can evolve with your curriculum rather than becoming permanent fixtures.

Budget-Conscious Teaching Tool At approximately $10-15 per set, these markers provide significant value for homeschooling families. Unlike consumable supplies that require regular replacement, quality glass markers can last months or years with proper care. The ability to use any glass surface means no additional investment in whiteboards or easels.

Real-World Application Skills Teaching children to write on glass surfaces builds practical skills they’ll use in future academic and professional settings. From writing on glass boards in offices to creating presentations on glass surfaces, this familiarity with different writing mediums builds confidence and adaptability.
