My two children love these markers. They think they are being crazy and bad when they use them. These markers are great for welcoming a special guest and for holidays. The colors come out great, the markers last a very long time (we're on the same pack for over a year of moderate use), and are easy for little kids to open and close. The only downside is that you will have to double-clean the windows as one Windex-and-wipe will just smear and smudge. But I've had the markers get in the cracks and on the sill, and have left it on for weeks - and I've always been able to clean up every bit of color. My children have never used these markers on furniture or carpet, so I can't tell you what would happen there...

This product is a great idea ,my kids love it ,they have lot's of fun with this markers .And the best think about them is that it's so easy to clean with dry towel paper or some cloth ,I clean with my old cotton t-shirts rather than trowing them away.

Even I join in ,if it's rainy day we can still have fun ,thanks to Crayola.

Not so fun about this markers is they do not last longer than several uses.

I think these markers are so fun! My three year old son has a huge picture window in his room and was so excited to be able to scribble all over it. I was concerned with cleaning after reading other reviews but I had no trouble at all. I also cleaned it off less than two days later so I don't know if cleaning becomes more difficult the longer it stays on.

Anyways, for those looking for tips I used a dry cloth diaper to wipe away as much as possible then prayed windex only a few times and wiped it with the same cloth diaper. To get the excess streaks I broke out the paper towels and windex and my window was perfectly clean.

The one downside is the markers do not last that long. It could be because my son is hard on the tip, and scribbles ALOT, but I would think they could last a bit longer than a handful of uses.

My son saw this at his friends house and wanted one for himself so I got him one. I had to limit him to use only the basement wall mirrors. (which is big enought since it is the whole side of wall) He always has blast whenever his friends comeover for playdate and sometimes use as a whiteboard/chalkboard for his studies. I've noticed that the markers do run out very fast considering the amount of usage and they are little hard to clean. I give my son a tub of baby wipes for eraser and it does work to some extent but not all the way. So I need to use some Windex and Bounty occasionally to get the mirror cleaned. However, if you are super fanatic about cleaning and maybe this is not for you. If you don't clean it deligently the glass surface looks like overused whiteboard (it's clean but not all the way). But my son's having a blast so I'm replenishing it all the time.

Well I've had these markers over a year and they still work. Although the packaging says window markers I use them on mirrors, which I find really easy to clean. So if your one of the ones that say it's a hassle to clean you might want to try using the markers on a mirror. My nieces love'em too and find it amazing that they get to draw and write on mirrors. I believe these markers are fun for all give them a try.

I love these markers. I use them for all sorts of things. Mostly to make To Do lists on mirrors. Some seem to dry out faster than others, but I had my last pack for about 3 1/2 years until I bought this one, and my yellow and orange from the old pack still work. Those are my least favorite colors so, that might be why.

That said - these did not come in the pictured zipper bag, they came in a regular box. It may depend on the seller, but if that's important to you I'd ask the seller. I personally was disappointed as my other zipper bag got a lot of use.

We have the Cryaola window crayons but thought that these would be nicer as they had more colors. As soon as they arrived we opened to start coloring. My daughter is almost 3 but she does not have enough fine motor skill to really use these markers well. She can get a light little line when she draws on the window but that is it. A older child would be able to use these. The colors are quite as bright as I would like but I would buy them again!

I had never purchased crayola window markers before, so when I received them in the mail I could not wait to get to school and use them. We have weekly themes, so I use them to decorate the room. I was surprised at how vibrant the colors were and how easily they came right off the window when it was time for a change. The students love them and so many of them have asked their parents for the window markers. Great product!

My kids only used the markers on our sliding glass doors a handful of times and the markers have run dry, So first of all, they don't last at all. Secondly, they are nearly impossible to clean off. They are called washable markers but I have cleaned the glass numerous times with soap and water to get the majority of it off. Then followed up with glass cleaner, again numerous times. My doors are still super streaky and I don't know if they will ever be clear again.

I think the idea is a good one, but I will never buy these again and I don't recommend them.
