Toddler strikes. As the title says really...it's a paper-lined painted wall. Wax crayon. Enthusiastic DD came up to me and said "I'm doing drawing mummy". Mummy says "lovely darking let's have a look, then. Oh. Shock"

Help!! Nail varnish remover? White wine vinegar? No point painting over I guess. Area is quite large and noticeable.

Defo magic eraser! Used it the other day when my little one drew on the wall, wouldn’t have known it was ever there!

Toothpaste and an old toothbrush - it works really well. Wipe over with damp cloth afterwards.

You can buy something from supermarket called Desolv it here. I have used this to remove a copious amount of crayon from walls, furniture etc!

They usually have magic erasers in the pound shop.

In my experience, nothing works but its 13 years ago since DS drew me a lovely rainbow. Not a little rainbow, a rainbow the same width as the sofa, and the same height as all the sofa cushions he took off and piled up to stand on to create the full effect. Shock

We had spent every night after work decorating and had finished it the night before.

He was soooo proud of himself though Grin

He's at art college now Smile
