Birthday Messages
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.
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.
Keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed!
my son is not an avid fan of drawing - these might provide encouragement.
I would like to win and surprise my son on his birthday in november.
Thanks for sharing :)
My daughter would love these (as would I)!
See you on Tues!
would love to put these to use

Thanks!
thanks for the idea.
My story about how important these signs are to us (read...me) that the day my son returned from England after a four month co-op placement, he had to stand on the porch for 10 minutes until we finished the "Welcome Home, Sweetie" sign!!
Our livingroom mirror is our canvas of choice...but we usually use construction paper for our signs...the markers and crayons offer a whole new medium...
Thanks for the idea..
Thanks for another great idea.
I wrote on my hubby's car last year for his birthday with those "car" markers and we like to never got it off! I will never do that again! These look like they are just perfect and you can even write neatly with them! Thanks for the share!
Thanks for the opportunity! Pick me, please!!!

I am sure you making the day extra special by simply greeting them with a sign of some sort on their birthdays will be a wonderful memory to think back on for many years!
Great idea :) Happy birthday Blake :)

I've never heard of the window crayons. Would love to try them.
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.
These are fantastic and I KNOW my daughter would love them!
