Crayola Window Crayons* are great! They are cheap, they are fun, and they work. I use them to write on our car windows when Amelia has a swim meet. She is not a swimmer that wins races, so we look for other sources of motivation. The window crayons allow me to let her know how much I love her, how much I am rooting for her, and how excited I am that she is swimming in a race. I use the window crayons to tell the world that I have an athlete and that I am very proud of her hard, hard work and her stick-to-it-iveness. I love seeing her face when she first spies the minivan covered with ”Go, Amelia, go!” type slogans. It doesn’t matter that I have no artistic skills. It just matters that I try.
You can buy a 5 crayon pack from ToysRus for $3. Don’t confuse these with the window markers also by Crayola. Surprisingly, they aren’t nearly as good! The caps don’t fit the markers very well. Then the marker dries out and your money is wasted. Also, the marker colors are pale and harder to see, while the window crayon colors pop! The slightly tinted windows on our van are the perfect background. The crayons go on really smoothly and the colors are bright–messages can be read from many yards away. Cleaning the crayon off the windows isn’t hard–it just takes a moist paper towel.
*I bought the crayons with my own money. No one encouraged me to write this review, and I haven’t received any compensation for it financial or otherwise.
P.S. Amelia achieved two personal best times at her meet this past weekend. Hip, hip hooray! Yea for personal bests! Go, Amelia, go!

Hey, I have a huge final this Thursday…wanna say stuff on your windows for me?
FanTAStic! We just got the summer pep talk last night after practice, including the importance of parental support (not criticism — let the coaches be the bad guys for once, and I’m going to let them! I am the bad toothbrushing guy, the bad roomcleaning guy, the bad violinpracticing guy, the bad bedtime guy . . .). I will definitely check these out!
My car was ‘vandalized’ just a little while ago by some of my old sixth grade students. It was fun to read over their messages and the things they remembered about class. Of course, I still don’t know who they were.
Brilliant invention, those ‘crayons.’
