I wanted to be a fun mom so I bought ‘washable’ crayons for my son to use in the bath now I can’t get them off

AS PARENTS, we all want to encourage the creative side of our children.

For this reason, a mother decided to buy her son “washable” bathroom crayons, but was furious when she couldn’t get them off.

Mum-of-two Cait Regan shared the video tick tockwhere it went viral with over a million views.

The mother explained that she bought a set of non-toxic beeswax crayons from Amazon to use in the bath.

The crayons are supposed to be washable, so she let her son paint wildly over the bathtub and walls.

But after the event, she quickly discovered that they weren’t as easy to take off as the product description made it out to be.

Cait said: “So I figured I’d be the fun mum and get my son these organic non-toxic beeswax bath sticks so they’re super easy to remove with warm water.

“No, they fucking don’t.

“And this is what the bathtub looks like now.”

Then she shows the bathtub and her son’s artistic creation and shouts “WHAT”.

Her bathroom is now covered with her son’s drawings and doodles, which she had been trying to scrub off, to no avail.

She also tried a magic eraser that couldn’t erase the crayon.

Cait joked in one comment: “I’ve retired from the crunchy life, from now on I get the extra paraben, the extra red 40 dye, the extra fragrance, everything.”

Viewers of the video went hysterical, recalling their own troubles with “washable” crayons, and some suggested she used sealer to keep the artwork in place.

One person wrote: “Wear sealant over it and embrace the art forever.”

“RIGHT NOW!! It took some real elbow grease to scrub off!” Added another person.

A third said: “I had to scrub with a rag and hot water for EVERRRRR. Some also have stains!!!”
