Cap Trappers for Back to School
It seems so simple, really, how easy it should be to keep a box of markers intact. I am not sure what it is about markers and the little hands that use them, but for some reason, once those caps come off, the lives of the markers are over.
We have several shoe boxes in my home that are filled with hundreds of crayons, dozens of colored pencils and several dried-up markers. It’s frustrating, and I had vowed to no longer purchase markers for my children.
A mother and former teacher, Rebecca Davidson, had the same frustration with not only the markers in her home, but the children’s markers and dry erase markers in her classroom. Out of her frustration, came an ingenious idea: Cap Trappers.
Simply place your markers into the Cap Trappers and the caps stay put. Clean-up is a breeze and even a toddler can easily place the markers back into their caps.
The versatile material allow the Cap Trappers to fit any cap size, from skinny to fat. They also work for individual tubs of glitter glue.
They are flexible, easy to transport and easy to store.
After receiving my set of Cap Trappers in the mail, I surprised my daughter with a box of markers. When she finished coloring, she surprised me, by placing her markers back into their caps, which were stored securely inside of the Cap Trappers.
The Cap Trappers are wonderful. And at $5.99 a set, they are a bargain, considering how much money they save in replacement costs.
Thanks to Cap Trappers, my daughter’s markers will now live a long life in my home.

Boy do we need these in our house! The caps ALWAYS go missing.
My 3 year old nephew could use these!

Great little invention!
Terrific idea!
I have been waiting for an invention like this. I have got to get my hands on some of these. Brilliant!
These are great! I don’t know how many markers I have had to throw away because my boys lost the caps!
Ah! This would be perfect for my little girl!
Now, the person who invented these was very clever indeed. My almost three year old leaves the caps off constantly – and often loses them entirely!
Neat product. My children are always loosing the caps to their markers.
This would be nice for our crew.
We have something like this at my school, and the kids love it! They don’t have to search on the floor for the lid, because it can’t roll off the table. I would love to have one for home, too!
The days of losing marker caps are over!
What a wonderful prize package! I would love to win!
