You could make test marks on a plate or some other non-absorbent surface with the same crayons etc as the little darlings used and test your solvents and removal techniques on that first. Then, if the inside surface of the case is the same matt finish, make some marks there and try the best solvents before risking it on the outside.

Worst come to worst, you may need to do a respray.

That's not so bad when you get resprays like this (sonikalien.comoj.com) :D

That's the orange coloured/smelling stuff isn't it? It is very good indeed at lifting sticky stuff, labels etc, and removing other 'hard to dissolve' muck . It washes away with plain water too, but warm is better than cold . I've used it extensively and it has never damaged any surface yet, but no doubt the day will come . . . .

although leaving it there may cause the child to think its ok and do it all over everything else :D
