My top tip of Sticky Stuff remover has worked for me several times, but there are other suggestions too which might also involve things you have to hand.

According to the Trade Secrets book, they way to get crayon off a wall is to brush with toothpaste using an old toothbrush. Now I've never tested this myself but it might be worth a try!

I'm sure I saw Kim and Aggie say milk takes crayon off walls - but I may have been hallucinating. :rotfl:

I read today (and seem to remember having heard before!) that WD40 is great for getting crayon off stuff

My dad uses WD40 for everything :rotfl: so maybe he has tried it on crayon at some point!!

I'm so glad the toothpaste worked!!

My dd2 drew on our walls with permanent black marker once:eek:

OH sanded the wall down and re-painted the emulsion. It was dead easy:)

Hello

I hope I'm posting in the right place....my wonderful 2 year old found a stray crayon and has done some original artwork on 4 (almost) newly painted walls... I tried a cloth and some cif but it made it look worse - does anyone have any ideas apart from repainting the walls?

Thanks in advance.

Hi MammaCas,

There's an earlier thread with some suggestions that might help so I've added your post to it to keep the ideas together.
