  • Although CRAYOLA washable products are water-based and designed to wash from skin and nearly all children's clothing, the dyes and pigments included in Crayola washable products react differently to various skin types, depending on a person's body chemistry.

    Normally, Crayola washable products can be removed from the skin by washing with soap and water. If you are unsuccessful with soap and water, try using baby wipes, baby oil or make-up remover. Since Crayola washable products are water-based, you may find that keeping the area moist with water will help to lift the stain.

  • Crayola uses two types of label adhesives, water-based and hot melt. To remove Crayola crayon labels, first try soaking the crayons in warm soapy water for a few minutes. Rinse and dry the crayons before using. If this method is unsuccessful, an adult can peel the label off by hand and use a dull knife to scrape off any remaining paper.

  • To remove SILLY PUTTY from hair, you may wish to try using baby oil or a generous amount of hair conditioner along with warm water. Massage the product you choose around the scalp and area containing the Silly Putty and then gently comb it through.
