Crayons are for the most part wax. I have had good luck warming the marks with a blow dryer and rubbing with a sponge or rag. If this fails, hang loose because some great people from cleaning and other forums visit here and if it can be done you will find out...Mike

One of the easiest ways to remove crayon from hard surfaces is a little WD-40. The problem here are the surfaces you are working with. WD-40 is oil based and will oil stain your paper and walls.
Give a call to 1-800-CRAYOLA and ask them for their recommendation. Some of their colors come off easier than others and they will know what you can and can't do with black crayon on wallpaper and/or walls.
By the way, they will need to know what type of wallpaper i.e. paper, vinyl, etc. Also, what type of wall paint i.e. flat, semi-gloss, gloss when you call.
