This review is from : Window Crayons 5-Pack
It's a nice addition to the window markers . We've had our Crayola Window markers for some time and just the other day, while I was at Target, I saw this and grabbed a couple of packages for my son. My son loves to draw/write on his mirrored wall on our basement which serves as whiteboard and giant drawing board. I tested it out before my son came back from school and was surprised to find that the texture was so soft against the mirror. It definitely writes better than the marker and I think it's going to last longer too. It's like the Crayola Twistable Crayons except it's for windows. It cleans the same as the marker does. We use baby wipes as eraser and it gets the glass cleaned. However, if you don't want grime and streaky surface, you have to use window cleaner and paper towel and give it a good clean. The colors on the package is basic blue,green,black, red, and yellow. When I tested on our mirror colors are pretty true except the green is highlighter green and red is actually hot pink shade. I think if I have to choose between Window Marker or Crayon, I'll get the crayon because it'll last much longer.
Window Crayons 5-Pack Reviews
DO NOT BUY THESE . We received these crayons as a "GIFT". My two daughters loved drawing all over our sliding glass doors. After that it took me at least 45 minutes, three different types of glass cleaner and a whole roll of paper towels to clean the residue off the windows. The crayons also stained the moulding around the windows and left small stains on my kitchen floor from small chips that fell off the crayons. The small chips also stuck to the bottom of my kids feet and were tracked all around the house before I realized what had happened. This may be a great product for outdoor use or on a small area. I wouldn't recommend it for indoor use!
Window Crayons 5-Pack Opinions
don't use windex for goodness sake . These crayons are great fun. It's very easy to clean it off windows afterwards if you use a DRY cloth. People who foolishly apply water or windex to wax (ever heard that they don't mix?) are going to get a big mess. If you use a dry paper towel it comes right off and even leaves your windows cleaner than you found them. We brought them to a party where even grownups had a blast using them and the cleanup was just as easy as it was fun.
Great but use dry cloth to clean. . Many on here have written how hard these are to clean up. If you don't use any cleaner-but instead just use a dry cloth it comes right off! I use them in my classroom and they are great and easy to clean with a little elbow grease!

I use these to showcase certain vocabulary words, concepts, and even draw pictures of topics we are covering in school.
Fun but messy . We have purchased the markers and crayons. The markers clean up well the crayons are quite messy and fun. Be careful when cleaning up as the crayons can get smeared on the window seal and wood trim. It is hard, if at all, to clean the crayon off the wood.
Works well for art . I am a children's programmer (art classes and story hours) at a local public library. I purchased these to use with kids during our many art activities. However, I ended up using them as aids in painting window murals and creating window decorations. I would recommend washing them off with SOAP and WATER before bringing out the window cleaner. Additionally, I found that the Windex multi-surface anti-bacterial spray (yellow in color) tends to cut right through the crayons with no problem. I used them on large panes of glass with metal/painted windowsills. I would recommend tarping the floor beneath the work area just in case, and using painters tape if you have old wood or chipping paint/finish (as you would protect your table if & when your children put their paper down to draw or paint).

They write on very smoothly and have a nice texture. Easy to wash off.
DON'T BUY! BIG MESS! . This is probably the worst kids product I have ever had the misfortune of purchasing for my child. If you are considering purchasing this, just give your child some old Halloween make-up or a tube of lipstick and tell them to have at. The texture is similar to that of a grease pencil. It is easily broken with any amount of pressure, so not only will you end up with gobs of it on your windows, but smears on your child's hands and clothes that doesn't easily come off. The bits that break off will end up on your window sill, window frame, floor and mashed into your child's stocks or shoes.

I love Crayola 8 ct. Washable Window Markers. I figured this might just be a type of crayon that would adhere and wipe away. It was appealing for the colors and the thought that it wouldn't dry out like the markers can. Instead of lasting longer, I threw these away after spending over an hour trying to clean up the mess they made. I had to scrape the windows to get most of it off and then scrub them, rinsing the wash cloth over and over to try to get it off. Also, if the washcloth is any indication, I don't believe this stuff is washable like it is advertised to be.

If I could have given this item zero stars and a giant red warning sign, I would have. Don't make the same mistake I did in purchasing this item.

Cons Review
NOT EASY TO CLEAN . My grandchildren love ART, Drawing & Painting. I thought that writing on a large French door window would be fun. The Grandchildren had fun, but the window crayons are very difficult to clean. It leaves such a residue (especially red and black) on the window that it took a half roll of paper towel and alot of window cleaner to get the window clean. Did I mention that it stains the wood frame on your window or door? I like PAPER better! Much faster clean up.
Lots of Fun! . My son loves drawing all over our sliding glass door with these crayons! They write well and the colors look great! I found that it is best to clean with a degreaser before using window cleaner to remove all the residue. That's the only reason I gave them four stars---the extra step in cleaning. I would definitely buy them again, though.
Wish there were more colors. . We have lots of fun with these crayons. We decorate our windows for every holiday and season. Colors wash of very easily with windex and we've had no problems with stains. It even washed off the walls with ease. I just wish they had a few more colors, particularly white.
