Ikea easel - normal felt tips on the whiteboard or do they have to be whiteboard pens?

[debinaustria]

Just got one for ds2 for christmas and want to check 1st before it gets ruined

Normally its whiteboard pens on a whiteboard. Any others will stain. Ikea do do cheapo white board pens.

oh, I didn't see those, , are they normally by the easels?

Well, they used to be in the kids dept in the Croydon branch. 4 for a pound if my memory serves me well.

thanks

they have them in tesco too

If you use washable felt tips, they will wipe off with a damp cloth, but need to be whiteboard pens to wipe off dry

tesco - I wish! lol

oh sorry the austrian equalivent then

ikea do a little set of whiteboard pens but it says on the packet they stain any other surface permanently.

Consequently the DCs are only allowed to use the chalkboard side at the moment.

Ikea easels are best used with whiteboard pens as the normal felt tip pens never quite rub off properly, The kids dept sell a packet of whiteboard pens, 7 in total which includes colours like brown, green, pink, yellow etc, which are great for pictures as they're colours which I don't find easy to buy in whiteboard pens, £1.69 for the set "mala", I work in Ikea by the way!
