These were great for my 3yo. Easy on and off caps, easy to hold, clean up was a breeze! WE didn't get any on his clothes so I can't attest to washability. But we've now used it for painting on paper, pumpkins and cardboard.No real complaint, just full disclosure, this is not, in the slightest, a fine tip. Think of it more like an Elmer's glue stick!
