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.

  1. Happy Birthday Blake!! Crayola always comes up with more new and interesing ways to expand our kids imaginations. Cant wait to try them.

  2. I LOVE these crayons. I have left the drawing on for days and have had no problem getting it off with windex. They are so fun! You can also write on car windows with them . . . so it is fun to leave messages for people!

  3. What a wonderful suprise to wake up to! My little girls birthday is next week, big #6! I love you ideas. Please keep them coming!

  4. What a great idea! We have a patio door that separates our living room from our toyroom/four-season front porch that I’m intending to someday kinda hide from the living room side, but those crayons would be perfect for the girls to “decorate” the patio door from their side!
