Birthday Surprise Window

Why

Celebrate birthdays in a big way! Write your greetings with Crayola® Window Markers. What a great surprise!

Steps

1. To help a favorite friend or relative celebrate a birthday, surprise them with a giant-size birthday greeting.

2. Find a window or mirror your friend will notice. Use Crayola Windows Markers to write your Happy Birth-Day greeting.

3. Illustrate the greeting with a drawing just for them. Show something special they'll do that day or about the person. If you draw a birthday cake, include the correct number of candles!

4. If you draw on a window, close the curtains until the morning of your friend's birthday. Open the curtains for a birthday morning surprise!

Safety Guidelines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.

Windows—Be sure windows are securely closed and locked before decorating. An adult must closely supervise the activity.
