Today's post is more of the same--this time a product that leads to an activity that might lead to a cleaner house (eventually) and will certainly lead to lots of smiles in the mean time! And what is this magic product? Window chalk
When my daughter read me her history assignment a week ago (before the big snow) about stained glass windows, I remembered the beautiful ideas that the words "window" and "chalk" had conjured up in my brain. So we pulled them out, and I let the kids get creative with our big picture window.
They were entertained for HOURS. And I do mean hours. And they would ask to get the chalk out later just to tweak their master piece a little. The whole thing made me smile big time, and I was so pleased with their art work that it's still adorning our window! (Don't worry, we tested it one some other windows/doors around the house. It comes right off with a little Windex and leaves your window cleaner than it was before.)
And (drum roll, please) here's the finished product:
Pretty amazing, right?
Well, just in case you'd like to get in on this fun, I'm offering one tube of window chalk (various colors) to 4 of my commenters on this post!

Hey, even if you don't have kiddos, this stuff would be fun to get creative with. I've been very tempted to get it out while the kids are resting and see if I can't make a window or two look like stained glass.
Happy playing!
