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.
HOw fitting that my daughter’s birthday is today! I think I will go get those markers for her party tomorrow! Thanks!
These are amazing! They would be so much fun for my sons to play with.
Love this idea. We have a bday coming up in November ans will give this idea a try. Thanks for the post.
How Cool! I am definitely stealing the idea!
OMG!!! The window message is to cool…I have 5 kids that would just love this…especially if this was done on both of our sliders…LOL..Thanks for the chance to have these…
Great idea! We have the markers but have not tried the crayons. I left the markers on the window for a little over 2 weeks and they cleaned up well with a vinegar-based window cleaner.
What a great idea! Can’t wait to try these, thanks for sharing. You have fabulous talent by the way. I can’t imagine what it would look like it I tried to make a HB sign like that.
oh – would love to try these, they look so cool!
What a neat idea! I love it!
With 5 kids between the ages of 3-11, this would be a great activity for all of them on the up and coming winter months!!!
how fudging cool are those?!?! love the bday message idea! what a great way to surprise someone!!
ohhh i would love these! i have 2 birthday’s coming up and i might have to steal this idea!
I’d love to try these. On my grandson’s birthday I’ve been cutting a big number out of cardstock and he loves having his photo taken with it. He’d like this window idea, too!
Another awesome idea. Last weekend I picked up some of the Crayola Fabric Markers you mentioned in a post and let my son decorate a t-shirt with those; looks like I’ll be getting some of these too, unless I win. Woo Hoo!
Thanks for the GREAT idea…my daughters bday is in Nov. and I have a HUGE kitchen window I can use as my ‘canvas’.
