How to remove crayon!






Recently Ballerina has been on an artistic journy. Through this journy she has colored on many things, she decided that our breezway aka summer playroom, needed a touch of flare. Ballerina used chalk to decorate the doors and walls, even the carpet. Thankfully with an un-paper towel and some water the chalk came off easily.

Crayon however is a different story. She decided to color a master piece on the windows, and on the wall. The un-paper towel and water took the crayon off the windows, I just needed to scrub it a little. However, the wall art was not budging. I tried an orange vinager mixture, Mrs. Meyers soap, and just plain water. None of those even touched the crayon.
I then remembered a number of years ago watching a day time show, and they had mentioned using plain tooth paste to take crayon off.



The art project.
Pretty talented

I grabed our tooth paste. I only had this in the house (and strawberry toms of maine), I would suggest using just a plain white tooth paste that is not grainy.

I smeared it over the crayon, the little people had a lot of fun helping me.

I let it sit for about ten minutes, then wiped it off with a dry un-paper towel.
Tada! Good bye crayon. Hello clean wall!
