She wrote on the wall above her bed, another wall, and the door - with a blue pen and a blue colored pencil! My first thought was to clean it with a Magic Eraser. But, we didn't have any. And I wanted to clean it up ASAP.
So I quickly searched online for how to clean pen off walls and found several articles that said you can use toothpaste. I used white Colgate toothpaste and a damp rag and it did the trick.
