Storing Magic Markers

L. Engelhardt, a fourth grade teacher at Murray Elementary School in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Here's a little tip for storing magic markers. I take an old bowl and fill it with Plaster of Paris. I insert the markers cap down with about 1/2 of the cap in the plaster and let it set. When it's dry, I can just pull out the markers as I need them and there's no more lost caps! I purchase the same kind of markers every year so that I can reuse the caps.
