Well my 2-year old made his first (and hopefully last!) artistic endeavor on one of my walls. Since it occurred while he was playing with 2 other friends (2 & 4), I'll never know who the real culprit was. We'll not discuss group synergy issues here! Any tried/tested ideas for getting it off the wall? I've looked at some of the "Hints for Housekeeping" type books but with no success. I had one suggestion I'll use if I get no better one; varnish over the crayon and then repaint the wall (varnish prevents the crayon from bleeding through). I think a good solution should be posted to the net, since this experience is likely to be one most of us hit at least once in our careers as parents. Thanks, Dave Beauregard AT&T-IS druhi!beau

A friend of mine discovered that WD-40 takes crayon off wallpaper. Maybe it will work on your walls, too? keith

Just spray the wall (crayoned object) with WD-40 and wipe it up.. The oil leaves an oily spot that comes clean with soap & water or 409 or fantastic... WD-40 works wonders. We had an entire wall covered with crayon and it *ALL* came out!! Roe D McBurnett, Bell Comunications Research |these are my own 201 758 2333 ihnp4!packard!nvuxr!rdm2 |rantings not Bellcore's
