When our kids celebrate their birthdays we try to surprise them with a birthday sign. Last year I made a sign for our front door that greeted our son when he got home from school.
This year I bought the new Crayola Washable Window Crayons
Just a side note: I do like the way the window crayons make a smooth easy mark. They give a more opaque effect than the window markers. I also like how you can color back over the image and it is not removed --unlike the window markers. There are less colors than the markers and the red is more pink than red. However, my daughter has been playing with them and doesn't seem to mind only having a few colors. I was really concerned after reading the reviews that they would be difficult to clean. I allowed a picture to dry about an hour and then cleaned the window. I did not have any trouble (I use a mixture of vinegar and water to clean my windows and mirrors). I don't know if allowed to stay on the windows for days if it would then become more difficult to remove.
Crayola will help us celebrate by giving FIVE lucky readers a chance to give the Crayola Washable Window Crayons
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLAKE!
These crayons are fantastic! What great ideas and traditions.
My daughter would love these (as would I)!
Sounds like fun! We would love these!
These look like so much fun!
These would be great for any occasion! I’m thinking Christmas and Halloween.
These sound like fun to try. They can’t be any harder to remove from the window than the dog slobber I currently have!
My 2 & 3 year old recently tried coloring on the windows with regular crayons, but doing it with these would’ve made mama a whole lot happier!!
Very cool. We have art work on our walls but have a very large slider along the backside of our house which is the only surface we are really able to decorate for parties. Love the idea!
We have always loved messages on mirrors and windows and doors. Birthdays are such fun to celebrate! Sounds like these Crayola washable crayons are a big improvement!
So fun! I didn’t even know these existed. I leave notes on the mirror all the time in a post it. This would be much more fun. I have wipes for the mirrors–I wonder if that would take it off.
Very neat!
What a fun idea! I always enjoy hearing about various family traditions.
Thanks for sharing
I love this Idea and would love to try them out for my husbands birthday next month. I think my daughter would love them too.
This will make kids feel so special — great idea!!
Awesome picture! What a great mom!
wonder if they wash clean off of walls too? If so, I might love them as much as I’m sure my daughter would!
Oooh, those markers look like so much fun! I’d love a chance to try them!
How fun! I’d love to try these out…and let my 2 1/2 year old have a little fun with them too!
Oh that’ll be fun with the kiddos. Fun Stuff!!
What a nice way to celebrate a birthday, your som must feel so special!
I would like to win and surprise my son on his birthday in november.
very nice,
my son is not an avid fan of drawing – these might provide encouragement.
I have seen these at the craft stores and always wondered if they really worked. Now I am wondering how many things I could use this for. Maybe on glasses at the birthday dinner, as well?!
I would love to try these out!
Count me in! These look so fun!!!!
oh wow! i like the way they look. they are neat.
Very cool – and love that you did it on the mirror and not on paper! I’ll do that for my daughter for her birthday this year!
Oooo, looks fun! That’s a great idea for bdays!!
I teach in a high school Early Childhood Education Careers program. My high school and preschool students would both love to use these washable window crayons! They might also be great for my light table!
I want to win these… birthdays coming up and my kids would love to see some fun messages like these!
I can’t wait to do this for my family members! Thank you for sharing this great idea!
Totally love these!
What a nice family tradition! I hadn’t heard of these crayons, but they’re a great idea.

Just found this site! What a fun way to celebrate!
What a sweet surprise for the kiddo! I’d love to try these!
I love those! I can’t wait to try them out for a cute Halloween message for the trick or treaters. Thanks so much for sharing
How fun! I used to have the markers and used them all the time- esp at wedding receptions! But they got annoying. I’ll be the crayons would be way more fun!
Now these are really COOL! Who would not feel special after seeing a sign just for them!
those look nice. I would love to try them.
sounds like a fun thing for my boys to use to decorate our patio doors. much cuter than dirty fingerprints!!
My daughter would love these!
My daughter has a birthday coming up, so we could definitely give these a try.
Keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed!

I love the idea of leaving a birthday message.

Those look neat!
Happy birthday to your son, I hope 17 is his best year ever.
I can see so many uses for those window crayons… thanks for the introduction, I only knew about the markers and didn’t like the fact that they’d erase themselves if you went back over your lines. I’ll have to try these out.
