Excellent idea, should have been mine
I don't know about the US and Canada, but if you want real cheap markers, go looking for normal ones for kids. Here in Germany the non-toxic kind (for children so small that they will surely suck on markers) are filled with food colors anyway. 20 markers are around 3-5 USD, Wilton cannot beat that...
