🖍️ Window Art
Turn any window or mirror into a patriotic canvas with Wonder Stix or Kwik Stix. Draw stars, stripes, or flags to decorate your space indoors or out. Best of all—Wonder Stix wipe off easily with a damp cloth!
Fun idea: Let kids write “Happy 4th!” messages on your car windows before heading to the fireworks.
