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 to give a try.  When he got up this morning he was greeted with a birthday wish on the mirror.

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.

  1. What a fantastic idea! It’s a great family tradition…I think I will try it out next year.

    I’ve never heard of the window crayons. Would love to try them.

  2. I have used the markers in the past & didn’t realize they now have crayons for the mirrors/windows! Thanks for sharing. I would love to give them a try.

  3. Awesome!
    My kids would love these and I would love an easy clean up.
    We have always used acrylic paints in the past and they don’t always come off completely.

  4. Making a sign is a great idea. I like those crayons, too…I had never thought about using something like that to do that. What a fun tradition.
