first, try putting some hot water on it. next, add some goo gone, (it's a brand of stain remover that gets rid of wax, mold, glue, etc.) if u don't have that, what other kind of wax remover u do have, use it. if that didn't work, try removing it gently w/ a flipper, but first rub the stains w/ hot water and soap first, just 2 b more cautious.

Try using a hair dryer to get the glue back to being liquid. When the glue melts you should be able to get the paper off the wall and wipe off the glue.

Oh gosh! I have to admit I laughed a little at your question, and I'm sorry for it. I can only imagine what your frustration. :)
The answer really depends on the kind of glue. But there's a product called Goo Gone which is supposed to work on all kinds of things - gum on furniture, bumper stickers off cars, etc. It's very inexpensive, less than $5 near me. I'd give that a shot. I've found it at Home Depot, Wal-Mart, sometimes the grocery store, and craft stores like Michael's. The link below will show you what it looks like and what it works on.
God bless your little artist, and good luck getting the wall clean.

I would use boiling hot water for the glue. You can pull the paper off (usually) otherwise... put a towel on the floor under it, and pour the hot water down the wall. (It's so much fun too). then scrub it (but not with a spung, those will only rip and leave colors on the wall), the paper should then be off, and you can soak the glue until it is easier to pull off.

You might try using something like WD-40, brake cleaner, or carburetor cleaner. The last two would probably dissolve the glue and the paper around it. On that note you could use nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol. Just be careful the alcohol can take off paint if your walls are painted. Hope this helps!

You should try to put some water on the place with a sponge.Make so wet that the paper comes of easily, later you can probably scrub the glue off

Try sandpaper. You're gonna have to touch up the paint.
The only other thing I can think of is Goof-Off or Goo-Gone. But they'll take paint off the wall, and probably ink off wallpaper. Five is a little old to not know the "don't do art on the walls" lesson, no?

Was it Elmer's glue? That's washable. Just soak a rag or a sponge with soapy water and blot at the spot. It will soften up the paper and glue. You should be able to start cleaning it up once it's wet again.

What kind of glue did he use? If it was Elmers (or other water based paint) you should be able to remove it simply by getting it wet enough. If he used a nonwater based glue, like superglue, you may have to chip it off and repaint.

spay a solution of vinegar and water on the area. I used this for the tough wall paper glue it works.
