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.
I love them, afraid for my 1 year old though! 🙂
I love these ideas and those crayons!
Oooh, my kids will be able to color on the windows without being naughty! Love it!
This is such a clever idea! I would love to try this!
I love this idea and my kids would be so surprised if this happened to them! 🙂
These are great… and thanks for the idea to celebrate my girl. I’ll do this on her next birthday!! Oh, and I’ll post about this contest for my readers. They’ll like it 🙂
I made my son a fabric banner that says Hooray for D. I’ll be hanging it up throughout his life (including birthdays) as he accomplishes something great!
What a fun way to celebrate birthdays! Thanks for sharing!
Those signs are so cute, can I hire you to be my in-house artist for all birthdays? Please enter me in the contest…I am hoping that with the crayons comes the ability to be a great artist like you.
Crayola does it again!
How cool are these!?! They remind me of the ones you see in restaurants that they use to write the daily special. I’d have a ton of fun with these!
Those look like fun! My kids would go to town using those markers on the windows!
What a GREAT idea!! My kids will love it
Too bad the red isn’t a true red, but would still be great fun for my little one!
Oh dear number one never wins but these sound so cool – would love to have a box!
