De-solv-it worked great on getting crayons off the fridge and walls. I think limonene, derived from citrus, is the active ingredient.

Just used a product called Krud Kutter and it worked wonderfully! Does not remove the paint. For textured walls, I recommend removing the remaining crayon with a soft-bristle toothbrush.

The dryer sheet and lotion worked great. No damage to the walls. Using a fragrant lotion makes the house smell Spring fresh too.
