ELI5: What's the science behind Crayola's mess free paper and markers?
The markers (or paints) contain a leuco dye that's colorless at normal pH. The special paper is coated with an acidic developer. When the ink hits the paper, the acid causes the leuco dye to change chemical structure and become colored. On regular surfaces, there's no acid, so it stays invisible.

How seriously to address comments like these from my older child?
He was using the Crayola Color Wonder fingerpaints and my 8 year old said something like 'you're SUCH a good artist' in this super sarcastic tone. I was just happy my 3 year old was entertained and not making a mess with real paint!

I made a decision I immediately regretted
I thought I was prepared. I got out the Color Wonder fingerpaints and paper. He hated it. Screamed for 'real' paint. So now I have a set of barely used Color Wonder and a toddler who will only use washable Crayola paints.
