Yup, we knew that - but the calendar said permanent marker, so that's what we used. They obviously didn't do it at school! Would have been easily solved by providing felt tip pens for all the associated tricks - but this is why this calendar is super scammy.
As has been stated by others a water soluble marker would have worked better, failing that using ethanol instead of water, if you don't have ethanol maybe vodka? We did something similar in science class with ethanol and permanent markers.
We use to do the rainbow trick as kids all the time. I think the key is a waterbased marker (like Crayola). Sharpies are a bit too permanent 😆

Can't get over the fact they included the piece of kitchen towel but not the pens!
I can't believe they couldn't give you some cheap markers or something for the rainbow ): how lame! Oh well, I learned what "kitchen roll" is 😎❤️
Need more festive decorations up loves!
Please see the first Advent video where we explain that due to the house almost falling down, we don't have access to a lot of stuff :)
Well you did use permanent markers (sharpies) rather than basic felttip pens.
Calendar specifically says permanent markers, so we're following the instructions!

That fact that they didn't include the markers makes it such a scam. I don't own anything to write with as I can't write so no rainbows for me
You need waterbased markers... My daughter did this as a science project

Oh shit, we had ethanol somewhere for cleaning things. Could have probably saved it!
What a sad calender, sad it doesn't work.
Kitchen Roll or even tracing paper (like you do in Chemistry).
