Soak your hands in a bowl of “first aid strength” hydrogen peroxide. This will require a long soak, but will be safer for your skin. Use a nail brush and some baking soda to buff the skin and nails during the immersion process. This may take several processes, but it will help to remove the stain.
Baking Soda and Dishwashing Liquid
This is a home remedy that is said to work well for some people. Simply mix equal parts of baking soda with dishwashing liquid. Apply this mixture to a damp washcloth, and rinse off the baking soda and dishwashing liquid along with the dye. Dishwashing liquid that contains lemon is said to be the best choice.
Try Toothpaste
Toothpaste is good for more than cleaning teeth. Toothpaste is used for cleaning a number of surfaces other than teeth, and many people have found toothpaste to work well at removing dye from the hands. Toothpaste doesn't work for everyone, but it's worth a try since toothpaste is cheap and readily accessible.
Commercial Hair Dye Remover
If you try the above home remedies to no avail, consider buying commercial hair dye remover. You can find hair dye remover at most beauty supply stores. Follow product label instructions for best results, and keep it on hand for future use.

I used Clorox to wash it off, but I added some Gain Joyfull Expressions to make them smell better. It worked for my family so it'll hopefully work for yours.
p.s if your kids don't want to do this, try giving them each a towel to wash with the mixture. By the time they finish their hands will be clean

Use paint remover. It has rather a strong stench, but dabbing at it with a cotton ball helps.
Or you might try an alcoholic solution (Walgreens, etc.).

It'll come off eventually, take a shower, a bath, or wash the dishes and it should come off, I think.
and why is this in the hair section?
