To remove fresh or even melted crayons from fabrics such as clothing, you will want to follow this method.

Turn the stain upside down on top of white paper towels.
Spray the back of the stain with WD-40 and allow it to sit for five or so minutes.
Next, use your liquid dish washing detergent. Apply onto the crayon stain back and work into the stain.
Launder in hot water, as hot as the fabric will allow.
You can also add color safe bleach to the washing if this is allowed according to the manufacturer’s directions.

Take a white terry cloth and layer it until it is thick and lay it acorss the stain. Then get your hot iron and press down into the towel the crayon will melt up on to the towel. Works like a dream everytime.
