rubbing alcohol diluted in water. For arms legs and bellies, not for gentle areas like the face or genitles. If you dilute it 50/50 it will work. Once cleaned up at its best... lotion so he doesn't dry out. My step son is 8 and he often "misses" the paper. He ALWAYS does it right before something important too. Good luck.~~: )

I sure hope that by now (july) it's off. lol lol
I can't help but laugh, it must have been one heck of a sight to see. My daughter when she was 5 decided to put some marker on her lips and eyelids so she could have makeup on, problem was it was black and I can't tell you how shocked I was that her first day in school was the following morning. lol That's a review in itself. This was funny though. lol

I just ran across this today and I am *rolling*... my youngest daughter decided to give herself a little color (pardon the expression) too. Let me tell ya, blue really was her color...at least, until it finally all wore off.

I wish I had possessed the presence of mind back then to photograph my little Smurfette... it would have been worth a TON of "oh Mom!" moments now that she's a teenager. *evil grin*

Try baby oil (Reply to this comment)
by jgibson2
It gets gum out of hair, road tar off of cars. In short, it removes lots of things from lots of places -- even better, you don't have to worry that it will do any harm. If that doesn't work, try desitin. It won't take it off, but it will cover it up. Of course the Desitin doesn't come off either.
Hey, it could have been worse -- he could have colored on the walls with the permanent marker.

Dont Use SOS (Reply to this comment)

This one made me laugh.
It was a very cute epinion I thought.
But seriously a few soaks in the bath tub with bubble bath and it should be gone.
Kids do the strangest things.
Good luck and I hope that it washes off .

Oh my, it sounds like something one of my boys would do! =o) I know what you mean though, you can't turn your back for longer than 1 minute and if you hear it get quiet, you better run to see what they are doing, LOL!

Thanks for a great review,

but, in the meantime, try an oatmeal bath or some baking soda.

This is such a coincidence! (Reply to this comment)

My daughter just did the same thing yesterday... (well, ok, so she did not have a penis to color)

Anyway, I tried EVERYTHING to get it off... tried peroxide, toothpaste, bubble bath, had her soak for a long time etc... It won't come off...

I was able to get it off her face by scrubbing as hard as she could stand it, little by little throughout the day with Oil of Olay Foaming Face Wash. I can still see faint markings on her eyelids today, and the rest of her body is just fading. It will.

Had her close her eyes real tight while I took off her "makeup" as she called it! LOL

Good luck!

I learned my lesson when... (Reply to this comment)
by wavesandshells
my oldest was a toddler. He colored himself with a stick of my favorite perfume. And one time he snuck out of his room and went into the bathroom. He dumped a whole box of Tide into the toliet and crammed in a few towels. When I found him he was standing in the toilet like a grape squasher washing towels. Suds were everywhere! I can laugh about it now 9 years later.

I don't mean to laugh, but I am histerical. I know you didn't mean to, but this was one of the funniest reviews I have read since badbobs latest post. I have no answer for you since my kids are 19 & 21 and if they are getting markers on private parts, I'd be the last person they would tell. ROFLMAO Good Luck!

Kids can be hilarious at times. I sure hope you can get the marker off, if you find something that works let me know. I may need it in the future, you never know with kids.

You might want to try Hydrogen Peroxide. Shouldn't hurt his skin, but you might want to ask his physician first.
Many years ago my son got a black perm marker on him, and I think I used the above solution. I am not 100% sure though.
Good luck!
