    They ARE washable crayons. I've been using 409 and papertowels...and that helped alot....but it's still visible.
    Mr. Clean magic eraser sponge. I've used one to get a stain off one time,works wonders.

    sorry if it has been said already, but 409 or that MrCLean sponge thing that they sell at the stores.

    that is a good bet
    and patience before you know it, this too shall pass.......

    I promise.

    Ajax cleanser, water, and a sponge with a scrubby side.

  • A rubber pencil eraser will probably work. I tried this to erase uncleanable black scuff marks off linoleum and walls, and it was sooo easy, literally erasing the marks. I wasted a lot of time and chemicals scrubbing first! I used one of those square vinyl white ones, but if you don't have one, I would think a pink one would work too.

    If you don't have the "Magic Eraser" product, put it on your next shopping list. It works wonders, provided you have don't have flat paint on your walls, then it will ruin a wall.

    Good Luck!

    magic eraser?

    It'll work..but tread ligthly. If the paint is thin...it will look warn aftewords.

    Magic erasers = preschool teacher approved!
  • Perhaps, you should get new kids! Kidding of course :) At family functions my mom loves telling the story about how when I was 1 years old, I took my diaper off and smeared the walls with poop! I'm sure she wished I'd written on them with crayon or sharpie, haha.

    Try a pink rubber type pencil eraser.

    If the paint on the walls is flat your F'ed, but if it has a sheen you have a shot.

    Well, the magic eraser didn't seem to work any better than the 409, but it DID work on the new crayon marks (yup, she did it again today).

    Speed is your friend, if the crayon gets attacked quickly, it can be removed...if it sits...ruh roh Reorge.

    Ohhhhh.. that girl is lucky I'm not her nanny! just kidding folks!

    2 days a week I go "watch" (he's normally sleeping) Harrison at 5:30am, till his mom takes him to school at 8:15am and today he was up at 5:30 and he was such a handful. He was so snotty. I asked him to brush his teeth to get ready for school and he was like, "I don't take orders from you, you're not my mother, you don't even have ANY kids"

    I was like.. "Okay, let's try that again. BRUSH YOUR TEETH, please!"

    At the ass crack of dawn, I can't be bothered with smart mouth comments.

    Here's another one. The other day he was throwing a baseball really hard in the house and it hit his dog, Hazel. I said to him, "Harrison, you can't hit Hazel with a ball, she's a little dog, and she's old, and its not nice to hit her" to which he said, "I didn't hit her", and I said "I am sitting right here, and I saw it happen, please tell her you're sorry, and don't do it again" and he said....

    "I'm not going to argue with you any longer, this is not up for discussion"


    !!!!!!!!!! I was like.. "WHAT?! YOU'RE 6!!!!"


    Oh children.. why must you test the limits at all times! You're little spunky devil needs an easel ASAP.

    Remind me of this story the next time I insist I want to have kids.

    Yesterday a neighbor's kid was outside and I called him over by waving to him. Took a couple times, but eventually he wandered over and in a loud, frustrated voice, he yelled...

    "What do you want with me?"


    Damn near fell over laughing. His mother was rippin'!
    I love to turn you on

    I would never do that when I was a kid...

    That entire post needs to be in the Kids Say The Darndest Things thread. :p I know it's not particularly funny when he's being a little cheeky to you in person, but damn, that made me laugh. :D

    Just leave it. I promise you it will happen again and again. When they get older make them paint the room.

    Sorry I'm late on this...
    But since the crayons are wax based... use and iron on the low setting over a paper towel to get the bulk of it off. The heat from the iron makes it liquify and the paper towel absorbs it.
    To get the rest, use something that'll break down grease or wax... Simple Green is a good choice. Spray and dab with a clean cloth. If it still does not come off... heat with a blow dryer... spray and dab.
    ...
    If the kids made a gigantic mess... think about what color you want to paint your walls.
