Getting red crayon off white plastic bath

Ok so maybe I am setting myself up for getting the mick taken of me...
But, genuinely, any suggestions of how to get my little dear's 'art work' off my bath?
Tried everything I can think of

Have you tried a plastic scourer - one of those green ones?

Just had a flash of inspiration-possibly - toothpaste?

Jif/Cif not good for plastic baths - gets rid of marks but also scratches the plastic - takes the shine right off.

Have you tried t-cut? Get's all those little tell tale signs off the car when I rub into things!

BTW - Astonish is great for getting ball point pen off cream leather sofa's!

Do you have an ant problem to? Please anybody who can tell me how to keep them at bay I would be eternally greatful. Every year around this time is hell. Ds1's birthday cake was crawling with them and we had to bin it. We find them in the cooled boiled water in the kettle. Dh thinks that they get on coaches everynight to come and party at our house!

The Crayola website has a stain removal guide . I've added the crayola site to my favourites as i need to remove bright waxy scribbles from most furnishings at least once a month.
