You can put a piece of wax paper on your shirt where the wax is, then iron on top of the wax paper.
The crayon wax will melt to the wax paper, since they are the same material.
I'm not sure, but there may be a specific side of the wax paper you need to use, so I'd try it on a scrap of fabric first.

Take a towel and lay it over the affected area, rub a hot iron over it and it should melt and be absorbed into the terrycloth of the towel. Once you have the excess wax out soak the spots with Spray & Wash (or similar product), let sit for 10 or 15 minutes and wash again.

attempt ironing the garments. placed a towel over the crayon and save on with an iron(low warmth) for some seconds. try to be able to get it off as quickly because it really is softened truly. reliable luck!

Try this cloth. You have to buy in packages of 5 but they are only like $3 bucks a piece. I have ordered them and use them on everything, even windows. They are guaranteed not to scratch and all you do is rinse the cloth under water, wring it out and wipe ANY surface with no streaks or scratch. Use em over and over.
I even waxed my car with it! I am sold on this ...I encourage you to try it out.

Here is a link that will help..trat it the same way you would to remove candle wax:

" If you splill wax on carpet..put ice cube to harden it and then scrape off as much as possible..next take a warm iron and put brown paper bag on spots and iron..brown paper bag will absorb the remaining wax.."
