Crayon on kitchen walls

My very own personal interior decorator, 2 years old, has scribbled with her crayons on our kitchen walls. Is there anything I can use to get rid or do I need to paint over it? Thanks in advance.

Try wd40.
or hairspray. Honestly!

Magic eraser. Homebase sells them.

Another one for WD40. Not tried it myself, but we have a can of it at home and it says that you can use it to remove crayon

Definitely WD40
It will also do those black rubber marks on skirting boards, scuffs from shoe thingys.
Good luck

Baby wipes get rid of EVERYTHING.

Yep - WD40 will take it off.

My beautiful dd hid a crayon in her cot one night when she was about 2. I went through to find blue crayon everywhere she could reach.

I tried everything.

Then a friend told me to use WD40 and within minutes it was gone and didn't ruin the paint at all

Baby wipes got rid of the masterpiece DS created in black crayon on the wallpaper last week.

Baby wipes :)

WD40. When DD1 went through a phase of drawing on our wood floor with crayons, I found a large document on the Crayola website with instructions on how to remove crayon from just about anything. The instructions always started with WD40.
