- Do Twistables need sharpening?
- No. You twist the end of the barrel to push more lead forward, so no sharpener is needed and there are no wood shavings.
- What age is this kit for?
- Crayola rates it for ages 4 and up. The chunky barrels and no-sharpening design suit preschoolers and early elementary kids best.
- How does it compare with regular Crayola colored pencils?
- Twistables are more durable and mess-free, but the color is softer and lighter and the tips are less precise. Regular pencils are better for detailed or blended work.
- Can the tips be replaced?
- No. Twistables are not refillable; when a pencil runs out, it is done. The plastic barrel is not designed to take new lead.
- Is it good for travel?
- Yes. The case keeps everything together and there is no sharpener or loose shavings, which makes it a common pick for car rides and restaurants.
- Is the lead washable?
- Crayola markets the line as nontoxic and washable from skin and most fabrics, though heavy marks on walls or upholstery may still need prompt cleaning.
- Where is the Crayola Twistables Colored Pencil Kit cheapest?
- At Michaels, for $23.99, as of our latest check.
