Dont know how crayons may affect her, but if you give a few teaspoons of hrydogen peroxide, they will usually throw up within 3-4 minutes. The peroxide will not hurt them, as it turns to oxygen in the stomach. the only time not to give peroxide to make a dog vomit, is if they have ingested something abrasive, like acidic cleaners etc.

Prayers on the way to you and your little girl.

I'm pretty sure crayons aren't toxic (or there would be a lot of sick children in the world!). They're made of paraffin wax and pigment and your dog will probably poop pretty colours for a day or so. A bigger worry might be if the crayons cause an obstruction. Just keep an eye on her and make sure she's eating, drinking and pooping okay on her own, and if there's any sign that she's uncomfortable, take her straight to the vet.
