I've just discovered that whilst i was tenderly cooking for my loved ones, one of them was merrily crayoning all over my living room walls! Little bugger. How do you get crayon off paint and wallpaper?! Using wet wipes at the moment. Any tips?

Ooh been there! Get a hairdryer and damp cloth. Heat the crayon and when warm wipe off. Can take a while as you need to do it in small patches but does work. My eldest drew fireworks all the way up my staircase wall in bright orange a few months ago, it took me an hour to get rid of it (was also heavily pregnant at the time so a bit slow!) but all gone, amazing. Good luck!

I also once read that toothpaste is good for removing crayon

Thankyou! GiniaC - that made me laugh! Said child is still living, mainly because i discovered it after bedtime. Only realised when i turned the light on - that was a shocker. Did go upstairs and 'have words' though. The response was 'it was my birthday'. ??!!?? It isn't by the way.
