We have a whiteboard easel that the kids love, and use constantly. The problem is, because I have a 20 month old, I'm constantly finding dried up markers with no caps. :/ I hate to take them away, they love them so much, but they are also pretty expensive! Has anyone found a good place to buy/order any? (The non-toxic, low odor ones).

I'm not sure what your definition of cheap is or how many you want but you can get non-toxic, low odor dry erase markers from http://www.discountschoolsupply.com/ for less than $1 each (set of 8 for $6.29). Now, when you add on shipping, I don't know if it is still worth it but I thought I'd throw it out there. If you feel like you want to invest in a lot at once, you could get the set of 48 for $22. Or maybe you know someone that could go in with you on it.

Sometimes Staples has them free after rebate. You'd have to watch their ads though.

I'd Dollar Tree 'em until after school starts in the fall, then go buy 20 packages when they clearance all the school supplies dirt cheap.
