Crayola sells these really great washable crayons. If you have youngsters, but haven't looked into these, I really recommend them. They wash easily off of floors, walls, windows, faces...
Here are a few things I've done with washable crayons. Remember, before you try any of these, test on a small area to make sure it will wash off and not stain. I haven't had anything stain yet, but you'd better make sure.
1.) Made an indoor hopscotch course: I think it was raining that day. We have these really ugly terrazzo floors that dh loves for some strange reason, and I happened to know that these crayons washed off our floor without a trace.
2.) Allowed Owen (4 years) to draw on the back sliding door (plexiglass?): He just has this urge to color on great big spaces. Remember my post about our, uh, mural?
3.) Made a to-do list on the sliding back door (plexiglass?): That's pretty self explanatory.
Also remember that I am talking about WASHABLE crayons. If they are washable, they will say so in big letters on the package. Seriously, don't try any of these with regular crayons. You'll be scrubbing 'til the cows come home.
What a great idea! I like the to do list on the sliding glass window. We have huge picture windows in our house so that I can see the kids in the backyard. I think that would be a great place to put a to do list. LOL
