My little daughter scribbled on the walls and the carpet floor with her crayons. Can anyone please give me some tips to remove the crayon stains from the wall and the carpet floor? Thank you.
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser has come a long way. When it first came out, years ago, I didn't think it worked at all but my husband brought some home a few months ago and I was really surprised! Good luck!

Gently scrape what you can from the surface. Add a small amount (to prevent damaging the carpets backing) of Afta Cleaning Fluid and blot with an absorbent pad. Continue until no more stain is removed. If a dye remains, dilute 1 part rubbing alcohol with 2 parts water and test on an inconspicuous place. If the carpet is colorfast, apply the solution to the stain in small amounts, blotting well after each application. Allow to dry.

To remove crayon marks from walls, sprinkle baking soda on a damp cloth then rub gently. The baking soda should be gentle enough for most wall coverings, including paint and wallpaper.
For the carpet check out this site:

most crayons now are washable. I used a magic eraser on my grandsons scribbles. As for the carpet, try a stain remover designed for your carpet. But beware, it can lighten the carpet if the carpet is dark.

On the walls make a paste of water and baking soda and gently scrub. You can try that on carpet, too, making sure you rinse with clear water and blot well.. Scrub gently though, because it can remove paint, too, if you scrub too hard. Good luck!

Magic Eraser for the walls
Hot vinegar for the floors - won't harm the carpet - can't take out permant color but great on crayon!
Unfortunately - I speak from experience.
If the vinegar leaves a residue of crayon either repeat or OxyClean laundry detergent mixed with water will get the rest - but can cause colors to bleed - but gentle if you have pets.
