I don't know about clothes ( I guess the Goo Gone will do on those)but for the dryer drum go get a can of WD-40.Spray WD-40 on a damp cloth rag; do NOT spray directly into the dryer. Use caution with a gas dryer. Wipe the crayon marks off the inside of the drum. Rinse cloth rag with water. Wipe the drum with the damp cloth.Run dry, old rags through the dryer to make sure that all the crayon residue is gone. If you have a gas dryer, leave the door open to dry out for a day before running.
Hope this helps

Try going to Crayola.com for help. Happened to a friend of mine. Don't remember how she got it out, but I do know she went to the website for help. Good luck!!

I get a product at Walmart called GooGone. It is citrus scented and does leave an oily residue, but it will take it out!

My favorite stain remover is Zout-the liquid not the spray. Leave on for at least 10 minute before laundering. It will remove dye from a few things but if this doesnt get my stains out nothing will.

not sure if this will work but its amazing for candle wax on carpets... put salt on the wax and they put a paper bag over it (one layer thin) and IRON it and the wax goes right into the paper bag : )
