Take blue dawn dish soap and mix several drops with a cup of warm water. Place a white cloth directly over the stained area of your carpet. Pour the soapy water onto the cloth and let it soak into the crayon stain. Take a warm iron (on the low setting) and place it over the stain.

STEP 1 — First, use the butter knife to scrape away any of the hard excess crayon residue from your carpet fibers. If the crayon does not come away easily, put an ice cube inside a plastic bag and gently rub the affected surface; the ice will freeze and harden the crayon, making it easier to scrape away with the knife.
STEP 2 — Next, use a spoon to mix a little water with some liquid dish soap: about a quarter of a teaspoon of gentle dish detergent and a single cup of warm water should do the trick.
STEP 3 — Before applying the soap and water solution to the crayon stain, you’ll want to first test it out on an inconspicuous area of the carpet to make sure it won’t stain or discolor the fibers. It’s generally a good rule of thumb to test out cleaning solutions on small discreet sections before applying them to more conspicuous areas of your carpet.
STEP 4 — Once you’ve determined that the cleaning solution won’t stain or discolor your carpet, go ahead and apply it to the crayon stained area. To do this, you’ll want to pour it directly onto the stain using the spoon and let it sit for at least five minutes.
STEP 5 — Finally, clean and rinse the area using a wet cloth, rag, or paper towels, making sure to blot instead of wiping or rubbing. When you’re finished, you can use a vacuum to remove any excess crayon from the carpet.
Goo gone would work for this problem.
