Our little ones enjoy drawing on the wall with crayons. Much to our dismay, markings tend to be stubborn. Any suggestions.

Crayonbegone is a product sold at toys r us for just a couple of dollars. A little bit goes a long way and a bottle will probably last until the kids grow out of it. I owned a daycare and that was of course a big problem. It's lemon scented and does not harm the walls or paint at all. Also works on leather furniture, wood, etc. Good luck.

Wow! Thanks Twelvepole, the WD-40 works GREAT!!!!! The magic eraser did little to get the crayon off my walls. At least not without a major workout on my arms. WD-40 worked almost instantly! Thanks again!
