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.
This is a really nice tradition!
Oh those look like so much fun. I think all my windows would definitely get cleaned if my daughters got a hold of those. Happy birthday to your son!!
Happy Birthday to Blake!
I think this is a great Birthday tradition. Simple and inexpensive too.
We are so into birthday, anniversary, Christmas, Welcome Home, Happy Easter signs!!
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..
I love that idea!
Our sons are the same age. Wish I had known about the window markers, I’m sorta behind on stuff like this.
Thanks for another great idea.
These Are so cool! I wish I would have had them when my son had his 15th birthday!
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!
I love these markers! I can think of all kinds of stuff to do with them for my home preschool…thanks for the ideas!
Fantastic!
It was my son’s 4th bday yesterday, I wish I would have known about the Crayola Washable Window Crayons before, I would have loved to create a message for my BIG boy! Next year I’ll be doing just that! Thanks for the great idea!!
What an awesome giveaway – thank you!!
I saw these at the store the other day & wondered how well they would work? I think the possibilities would be endless with these & know my grandkids would have a blast with them!
What a great idea! Hope your son has a wonderful birthday!
These look like they would be really fun for my grandchildren to use. Can’t wait to try some.
