Toxic

On of our newest favorite activities is drawing with washable markers. So many times throughout the day I feel a little tug on my pants accompanied by a "play mawkers mama...play mawkers mama! over and over, each time getting exponentially louder. Usually I am happy to appease him because 1-it is something that keeps him occupied and happy and 2-it gives me a chance to do whatever I need to do in the kitchen (the kitchen or dining room is the official land of the markers because of all of the wipeable surfaces). So he draws away and I get to cook dinner: win win.
We are however, having some trouble getting him to limit his drawing to paper and not the table, walls, his clothes...
...or his face. Anyone know if washable markers are toxic to those who ingest them?
