Product Information

Full details

This guide is for young artists and parents seeking a mess-free and convenient coloring experience. The key benefit is the no-sharpening, always-ready nature of these crayons, offering vibrant and unique effects. A minor caveat is that the crayon wax is exposed once advanced, requiring careful handling to avoid smudging. This set includes 24 Twistables Crayons in three exciting varieties: 8 Neon, 8 Metallic, and 8 Rainbow colors. They feature a twistable design for easy crayon advancement and are housed in sturdy plastic barrels that resist breaking, ensuring a durable art experience. A reusable storage pouch is included for easy cleanup and on-the-go creativity.

FAQs

Do these crayons need sharpening?

No, Crayola Twistables Crayons do not require sharpening. You simply twist the end of the barrel to advance the crayon tip as it wears down.

What makes the Rainbow colors unique?

The Rainbow colors have multiple colors within a single crayon core, creating a striped, multi-colored effect as you draw or color.

Are these crayons washable?

Crayola Twistables are designed to be a cleaner crayon experience, but they are not specifically labeled as washable like Crayola washable markers or paints. It's best to avoid contact with fabrics or surfaces that are difficult to clean.

How do I clean the plastic barrel?

You can wipe the plastic barrel with a slightly damp cloth to remove any marks or smudges. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

What is the difference between Neon, Metallic, and Rainbow colors?

Neon colors are extra bright and fluorescent. Metallic colors have a shimmering, glitter-like finish. Rainbow colors have multiple colors swirled together in one crayon tip, creating a multi-colored line.

Can I use these on dark paper?

Yes, the Neon and Metallic colors will show up particularly well on dark paper, providing vibrant and shimmering effects. The Rainbow colors will also create interesting effects on dark backgrounds.

What age range are these crayons recommended for?

These crayons are generally recommended for ages 3 and up, suitable for a wide range of creative activities for young children and older artists alike.

Troubleshooting

Crayon will not advance

Ensure the barrel is twisted in the correct direction. If the crayon has broken inside the mechanism, gently try to twist the mechanism while lightly pulling the broken piece, or contact Crayola customer support.

Crayon tip breaks off

Twist the crayon back into the barrel. Try advancing a smaller amount for future use or apply less pressure when coloring. The sturdy barrel offers protection, but excessive force can still break the core.

Color is not vibrant

Ensure the paper surface is suitable for coloring. For Neon and Metallic colors, try coloring over a white base or on darker paper to see the effects more prominently. Ensure you are applying adequate pressure for the desired intensity.

Barrel is difficult to twist

Check for any debris around the twisting mechanism. Gently try to twist back and forth. If it remains stuck, do not force it; contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Always sharp and ready to use, no downtime for sharpening.
  • Durable design reduces crayon breakage, making them last longer.
  • Unique color effects (Neon, Metallic, Rainbow) add excitement to artwork.
  • Encased design offers a cleaner coloring experience compared to traditional crayons.
  • Includes a convenient reusable pouch for storage and portability.

Cons

  • The crayon wax is exposed once twisted out, which can be smudged if not handled carefully.
  • While durable, the plastic barrels could potentially be cracked under significant force.
  • Color blending might be slightly different than traditional wax crayons due to the casing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These crayons require no setup. Simply twist the end of the barrel to advance the crayon tip before use. Twist back down if the crayon needs to be retracted.

Compatibility: Crayola Twistables Crayons are compatible with most standard paper types used for coloring and drawing. They can be used in conjunction with other dry art media.

Care:

  • Store crayons in the provided reusable pouch or a similar container to keep them organized and protected.
  • Keep the tip retracted when not in use to prevent accidental marks or damage.
  • Clean any smudges on the plastic barrel with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Ensure the cap (if applicable, though most twistables do not have one) or barrel end is secure to prevent the crayon from advancing unintentionally in storage.
