    Crayon: How do clean marks off

    I have a little one who likes to color everything but what she's supposed to! Suggestions how to get it off carpet & a plastic table top? Thanks much
    Children are great imitators.
    So give them something great to imitate.

    I'm not sure about carpets, but for plastic table tops and almost anything else it's GooGone. That yellow stuff that takes off sticky price tags. You can get it at a hardware type store or even Dollarama.

    This is not meant as an attack but just to share information ~ when I worked in centre care I was the Health and Safety person for ... I had to research and keep all the Material Safety Data sheets up to date and on file for any product staff were exposed to!

    Have you ever read the Material Data Safety sheet for these I stopped using them after reading them as well as more research into severe chemical burns children who've gotten access to them or who've played on surfaces cleaned using them had

    The MDS sheet says skin reactions are 'moderate' but the images online if you google are NASTY!!!! Not to mention that these things contain formaldehyde a chemical linked to causing cancer and cyanide too boot

    http://www.pgpro.ca/Portals/0/Docume...2010%20eng.pdf

    Potential Health Hazards (Acute and Chronic): (See Section 11 for more information)
    Ingestion: Blockage of the gastrointestinal tract may occur if swallowed. Do not ingest.
    Eye Contact: Irritating to eyes.
    Skin Contact: Moderately irritating to the skin. Prolonged / repeated contact may result in skin
    sensitization.
    Inhalation: Ensure adequate ventilation.

    Hazardous Decomposition Products: Oxides of carbon, oxides of sulfur, aromatic compounds,
    formaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide.
    IMO scary what is actually IN these things ~ personally would never use one knowing what I know now specially anywhere a child plays or explores considering the safety precautions those 'making them' have to wear in order to handle the products that go into these that you than see being used barehanded and on surfaces where you eat and bath when they promote them in their commercials .... seriously if it is safe for YOU to use in this manner than why are employees being made to wear ventilators and industrial gloves when handling them

    Try putting her in a booster seat at the table with the crayons and paper and that way she can't wander around and when she's done put them up

    This is exactly what I do for colouring and painting and playdo and crafts, it's all done at the dining room table with the babies in boosters. Since I have a nice butcher block table the craft mats are put out for all the children. One trick I use is to put a little bit of scotch tape on the top & bottom of the pages to keep them still for the children while they colour or paint.

    I used Mr Clean Magic Erasers too. All cleaning products are dangerous thats why they are in a locked cabinet inside a locked room at my house. They work like a dream!
