Window Crayons Giveaway from Down To Earth Toys
The dkSummer Fun Giveaway is winding down to a close, but summer is not! We still have two whole months of outdoor play, trips to the beach, vacations, rainy days with children whining, “But I’m so booooored!” Oops! We try to block that visual out, don’t we? Be prepared for those days with some Lyra Window Crayons ($11.49 retail) from Down to Earth Toys. With these, your kids can stay inside on not-so-nice days and draw their own sunshine on your living room windows! Don’t worry, it wipes right back off when they’re done.
This box of 10 crayons is actually pretty fun. I may be an adult, but I still love my crayons, and if there’s one thing I enjoy doing with my son, it’s getting down on the floor and coloring. With these, we’ve been able to sit in front of that big sliding glass door and have at it. I’m envisioning kids in the back seat of a car during a long ride to the Grand Canyon or Wally’s World (if you’re the Griswold’s, that is), and instead of asking, “Are we there yet?” they’re creating art on the back windows of the family vehicle. My son is too young for that experience, so we’ll stick to decorating the slider. It’s nice to have added a little color to the room!
If you’d like to win your own box of German-made Lyra Window Crayons–and yes you have to share with the kids–I have an extra box to give away. By this point in the dkSummer Fun Giveaway, you probably have the rules memorized. But if not, get out your crayons and write this on the window so you don’t forget:

I love the Beka Adjustable Art Easel. I had an easel when I was little and it just makes the world of difference! You really do feel like an artist when you have an easel and artists smock (and they make for good photo op’s too!).
Oh, and I am soooo like you. I beg my child to color with me. Anytime it’s “what are we going to do?”, I drag out the crayons and coloring books!

The Recycled Tire Horse swing is really cool. Those crayons would be so great. I spend a lot of time reminding my 3 year old that he can’t write on the walls. I can’t imagine what he’d do if I told him it was OK to write on the windows!

I like that a lot of the toys are made in the USA! The Lyra Window Crayons would be a lot of fun for my little artists, and for me too. I also thought that the cloth Fortune Cookies were adorable. I think it would also be fun to put our own “fortunes” in there.
Thanks for great giveways!
