Last holiday break I bought these crayola window crayons.
The boys loved them, they spent ages drawing on the windows.
Using different tools like chalk/paint brushes/pens/crayons even doing an activity like finger painting- anything that encourages the use of their hands; making circles, drawing lines, attempting letters all help develop fine motor skills and the muscles in the hands needed for writing or to turn a page or pick up an object
Its also a great activity for them to develop cognitive skills- thinking, interpreting their pictures and imagination.
The window crayons made by crayola are easy to clean off the windows - just some window spray and a cloth is all you need.
The window crayons aren't the cheapest thing to buy- but they do last a long time.
Alternatively I have in the past used felts or coloured markers on the windows, even whiteboard markers. They don't show up as much as the window crayons but still work and still come off with window cleaner.
Do note: Make sure you do a test if using markers on a corner of a window or a mirror or even glass bottle first to make sure it comes off.
To the right side of my blog I have added some links related to fine motor and cognitive development if you are interested!
