Cleaning Crayon off a Chalkboard

it's a children's standing easel with a dry erase board on one side and a 'chalkboard' on the other (painted board in other words, not slate) 

Youngest grandchild went to town with his crayons...

Any hope???

Try magic eraser. We use it to remove everything from the easel.

I believe the "chalkboard" is actually plastic, not the painted type. It is an IKEA chalkboard. 

And if worse comes to worse, you can spend a few bucks and get some chalk board paint and paint over it

Try WD-40 or goo gone.

Thanks all!

Aren't crayons just wax?  How about a hair dryer to melt wax and wipe?

Magic eraser may work, otherwise an oily solution, worse comes to worse, coconut oil or olive oil.
