Some of these washable markers come with nice scents and flavors too in case little kids want to chew on em instead of color with. And its not permanent for a reason. Little ones tend to mark up their clothes and skin. If it were harmful to children in general, then it would be harmful to hair.

Now if you asked about a permanent marker, one that cant be washed out, I'd say its best not to go there. But since you mention Washable, which means it can come back out, i don't think those dyes are anywhere near as harsh as regular hair dyes.
For temp hair coloring, I've seen kids use Koolaid too, the packets that need sugar added to drink, just dont add sugar and use only the powder dye. I am thinking, guessing here, that the koolaid trick may be about the same as the marker one for non permament coloring. Although I've seen the koolaid ones take some time to come out dependign how often they washed.

Curious, but why are you using markers? I would say personally, that you shouldn't use anything in your hair that could risk damaging it and that would be anything that is not meant for your hair (although saying that dying your hair does damage it too).
If you really have to use markers then I would suggest trying only a little somewhere in your hair as a test to see the effects of having it on there and if there's any problems. Ideally though I would say grab yourself some hair colour to use. There are a huge amounts to choose from that range from sprays to semi-permanent colours all of which come in a variety of colours. I personally used the sprays which wash out whenever I dressed up as the Joker for Halloween and it looked excellent but the colour did dry into a powder so on bright colours or wet weather it could pose a huge problem. Saying that though if you are using water soluble markers they too will have the same problem if you have rain to contend with.
Hope this helps somewhat.
