These are a couple of the products I use. The cleaner is very good for interior detail cleaning on leather, plastics, vinyl etc....

WD-40 is great at removing crayon from leather.

My wife left a tube of lipstick on my old E320 on the front passenger seat, and it melted.

I first tried nail polish remover, and it removed the lipstick, and the finish, from the leather.

Whatever you do, do not try nail polish remover or acetone.

Crayon is wax. Take a soft cotton cloth,and a hair dryer. place the cloth over the crayon and heat the cloth with the dryer (do not use a hot air gun) then rub vigorously.
Mr Clean eraser pads might work too.

I would never have thought of that. It doesn't seem like it would be good for the leather.

What about stuff like Goo Gone?

I don't know...goo gone smells like mineral spirits to me. I'd be reluctant to try it.

Just to finish the story, after completley removing the finish from the leather from using nail polish remover, I had both seats professionally redyed.
