How to get crayon out of carpet

Harden the crayon with ice and gently scrape off excess first; color may remain, so work carefully and expect that a commercial product may be needed.

Place ice on the crayon until it hardens.
Gently scrape excess crayon from the carpet surface with a dull knife or spoon.
Blot the area with clean cloths until no more crayon transfers.
If color remains, dilute 1 part rubbing alcohol with 2 parts cool water.
Test the diluted rubbing alcohol in an inconspicuous place and continue only if the carpet is colorfast.
Apply the diluted rubbing alcohol in small amounts, blotting well with clean cloths after each application.
Allow the carpet to dry.

Don't do this

Do not rub, because rubbing spreads the stain and can fray the carpet pile.
Do not overwet the carpet, because too much liquid can damage the carpet backing.
Do not use rubbing alcohol without testing first, because it can damage some fibers.
Do not start with liquid before hardening and scraping the crayon.

If color remains after these steps, the stronger option is a commercial product made for this, used per its label. Some crayon color may not come out completely.
