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.












Happy Birthday Blake! What a sweet idea… I made a birthday banner that we display for every birthday, but this would be a fun surprise and something special for each person… and winning would be just in time for our little one’s Oct. 1 bday. Great idea thanks!
My kids play with the window markers all the time, but I haven’t seen the crayons yet. We would love to win some 😉 !
So great… we love doing our windows… My girls would LOVE this!
I’ve heard about these! I would love to try!
Crayola is one of the name brands I always stick with. “Generic” just doesn’t compare!
So cute!
What a great idea to write a surprise birthday message. I think I’m going to steal that one 🙂
So cool. My kids would love these including my husband.
These would be so fun to play with! errrrrrrr I mean my kids would have so much fun with them. 🙂
How fun! This would be so fun! We always hang streamers from the door jam of their rooms on their birthdays. This would be great for our front windows! 🙂
