Last weekend we had a 'balcony art day'. We took our art supplies out onto the balcony and spent the whole afternoon out there getting creative. One of the things we did was finally try out our window crayons.
And they were amazing! We all absolutely ♥ them!
What vibrant colours!
And they make such lovely, smooth strokes! As Princess Pea said, "I love to do this because it makes my hand feel good!" I have to admit, I felt the same way about them myself!
And yes, they really do wash off with just a wet paper towel :-) Unlike the regular crayons that Sweet Pea tried out the next day on the living room wall :-(

PS - I loved these crayons so much that I've decided to get another pack for school and use them to create a window word wall.
UPDATE: LOVING my new window word wall at school! The kids are super excited about it too and are throwing out requests for more words to add. It also allows me to sketch a quick picture to define the word, which is perfect for my EAL students!

I'll be looking for those next time I'm out shopping - how fun does that look! How does it go when accidentally drawn on other areas that are not window?? And yes..... sometimes drawing on windows and walls can encourage it in other areas..... but it's just so much fun! Did you manage to get it off the walls?
ReplyDeleteWe love these. My teenagers have turned my sliding glass doors into a noteboard. It works because you see the note as your headed out the door! My toddler and me love them just to play!!
ReplyDeleteHow much fun- my kids would love that~ Thank you for linking up to The Sunday Showcase!
ReplyDelete@Emma - fortunately they didn't end up anywhere else except on the door frame a bit, but they wiped right off of there with a damp paper towel too. And no, never did get the crayon off the wall, but haven't tried too hard either. Planning to move soon and will need to repaint then anyway.
ReplyDelete@Whitehead Zoo - what a great idea! I could see using them on the bathroom mirror too, to leave 'don't forget' notes for Daddy Pea! lol
