Mr. Clean Magic Eraser available in cleaning section in supermarket.
For wooden doors Crisco vegetable oil removes crayons.
But then he has to remove the crisco. Maybe Goof Off. I would go to a real paint store , use what they say and the primer they recommend.
Mineral spirits removes the wax, but there likely will be pigment left. Trust me...I know from experience (tenant in rental, about a month after the landlord painted the room). If it is alkyd paint, not latex, you might escape the stain especially on doors if semi-gloss.
I'd have been more concerned with how to remove my boot from the child's ass then how to remove the crayon marks.

Then you can figure out how to remove bubba's prick from your own ass in prison.
Linseed oil works , too, and doesn't necessarily have to be scrubbed off. Since it is a drying oil, after a few days it can be painted over.

It doesn't really soak in. It just removes the crayon. Afterwards just use a little soap and water to remove the film and it disappears without a trace.
Just get some more crayons and finish coloring the wall.
