I want to be able to make permanent markings on this ruler as a keepsake of a child's growth. Would its surface accept a permanent marker or paint?

Yes it would , it's a lacquered wood finish , but should be fine . Beware ! My child broke mine , they need to be opened horizontally .

It's similar to tape you might use for painting. It's not meant to be a permanent tape -- it's really designed for kids.

The paint (in the marker) is acrylic which is essentially plastic, so I am thinking it would work. I do know that the Sakura IDentipen writes on glass and plastic for sure.

Although I have purchased these I have not used them. I have used Sharpie's Fine-tip Permanent markers to outline pictures that I was painting on baby quilts. I have pictures of one I made 25 years ago that was well loved and well washed. More than weekly the first few years. It was recently photographed and I can still see most of the lines in the pictures. I know that they make cloth specific markers but I do trust Sharpie. I know that the ink formulation (25 years ago) did not damage the fabric and stayed on. Hope this helps.

Ok so think of these as kind of like a crayola color wonders but you don't need a special paper, like when you drawl woth them it takes a few seconds for the color to appear. However they are VERY permanent like a sharpie, just ask my toddler whos taken on and drawn on the gloss table. Haha. Yes they will work and blend for this project and be permanent.

It will definitely adhere to the surface, but I wouldn't count on the white matching what you already have. It's very white. The marker is industrial and is made to adhere to anything. I used it on my tires to outline the letters, which is a new trend coming back. If you could get a sample size of wall paint from Home Depot, that may be a better idea and you'll have a choice of different shades of white. Goodluck!

I can think of some cool applications for using silver markings around the edge of a chalkboard, or whatever! Sounds like a fun decorating idea! I would think that it would wear down the tips quickly b/c the board surface is rough. Also, if you had a dark colored board (like the classic greenish), it might not show well, especially if writing with thinnish lines. The resulting marks made by the markers are not shiny, just silver colored...think sort of "bright" gray. Have fun! They are certainly cheap enough to try out your idea.

I think it would only work well writing on paper. It's not permanent the way a Sharpie is.

If you use a permanent marker it wont come off. Or you could make a template of what you want it to say and spray paint it.

ummm..... I suppose a child could do the final stamping, but you'd have to be FAST, and depending on the age of the child of course, the results wouldn't be what the pictures show. Again, depends A LOT on the age of the child, and their manual dexterity. 9 or 10 year old? Maybe. I wouldn't do it if they were pretty young.....3 or 4....but maybe get a "tester." Walmart sells inexpensive starter sets-that way you could try it. Dunno know, without knowing the child. Let me know what you decide and the outcome!

I am sorry, I have no idea. I know longer have the paint kit to take measurements but we did make our own tray out of wood and using a jute rope for a handle for my young grandson. If you like I can email you a picture of the tray that we made but I would need your email address, I believe.

I don't know. I use it on paper. If you want permanent, perhaps a strong glue. Sorry I'm not able to be of more help

You can write on them with markers but it will smudge or wipe off unless you use permanent markers.

I used a chalk marker so the chalk would wash away, however if you used a permanent marker I think the labels would be just fine.

Absolutely!! I let my kids draw on it all the time using crayons..works great.

I noticed it's frequently sold with Crayola Gel FX Washable Markers. I assume those are the type of markers this needs to be used with

I am not sure but you can contact kids craft and they would be able to tell you.
