The other day I took the kids to a toy store because we were in dire need of new playdough and finger paint. Actually, we still are in need--neither was found. Well, technically I found playdough: two tubs sold with a super pasta factory. Or I could have bought a playdough sandwich making kit (with four tubs; white for bread, yellow for cheese, green for lettuce, and pink for meat) but it was frankly too gross. And I was not about to add to the amount of plastic-junk toys that we own, so we passed on playdough all together. Finger paint just wasn't there. But these were:
Crayola makes these great window/mirror markers that, according to the package, wash off skin and clothing (and of course the glass too). Magic. Since my kids inadvertently mark all kinds of things other than the intended surface, that promise was a selling point (even at nearly $1/marker). The washable thing is presently an untested feature, so I'll update this post after I've done the laundry. Meanwhile, more and more of our windows will be scribbled on.

Wow, your daughters are getting their early training as sorority sisters and all the stuff that is drawn on those Greek windows. These markers are great for allowing creativity without the consequences of permanancy. Good purchase!
Sounds like a great indoor activity. I hope the label is true to the performance. Do you remember the inside of Kathleen's Caravan?
I don't believe I've ever seen the inside of Kathleen's Caravan. Sounds like you have a story about it . . .
Yup, its true. The colors wash out without any trouble at all. Horray for reversable art!
