I have a kid who (on a regular basis) took felt tip pens and just started colouring at the toes, up the legs, arms, all the way to the head sometimes. Changing colours as they felt like it.

They did this well past the toddler years.

Pro tip: washable markers are a lot more washable if you wash it off straight away instead of waiting all day.

Goddammit, now I want to get out my box of washable markers and color myself from toes to nose! I'm going to be a grownup and remind myself it would use up all the markers.

But you're also a grownup who can buy more markers!

Exactly, I say go for it. Just don't do anything... racist
