About this deal

Quite an ingenious invention, Crayola Twistables Colored Pencils are colored pencils encased in a mechanical device that allows you to twist the end of the pencil to see the core come through the end. The barrel holds it in place as you use it. When it wears down, simply twist for more color!

Crayola Twistables Colored Pencils put a new spin on creativity! Just turn the ends to twist up 12 brilliant colors. See the colored cores turn inside the clear plastic barrels. There's no sharpening needed—just twist and you're ready to create! Great for coloring, art projects and crafts!

I guess my early love of Crayola brand has not left me since I have done most of my classes with Crayola Colored Pencils—a brand that is universally affordable yet produces decent art work. Crayola makes both erasable and non-erasable twistable colored pencils. And I find even the non-erasable can be almost completely erased when erasing a very light layer. Completely Safe and Non-Toxic Love to color or do colored pencil artwork but just dread all the necessary sharpening that needs to be done? Maybe having to sharpen deters you enough that you just avoid using colored pencils altogether. In summary, I do not find working with a blunt point a limitation in any way. I simply go into an art session with twistables knowing I will be employing slightly different techniques and producing a slightly different outcome. It’s almost like working with a different medium. What about Layering and Blending?

The colors are adequately pigmented allowing for satisfactory result. I think the colors produce a softer looking (as opposed to bold) coloration. And that’s very nice. (See the butterfly picture above). Are They Erasable?In addition, these pencils are advantageous for those who have arthritic hands as well in that they don’t have to struggle with holding a manual sharpener to sharpen a traditional pencil or having to hold a pencil tight in an electric sharpener. Twistables eliminate this problem altogether. GREAT FOR COLORING BOOKS: Twistable color pencils are great for coloring, drawing, and creating on the go.

Pictured above on my Visual Edge Slant Board, Crayola Twistables have many advantages. Here they are: But if you’d like a slightly softer look, twistables are at your service. In working with these, the blunt points do seem to lend themselves to a softer look for your artwork by producing softer edges. In fact, I find this advantageous as I don’t have to work as hard to get a soft look, the point kind of does that for me. So, does that change the way we lay down color? And what do we do for fine detail? Alter Your TechniqueAdmittedly, Crayola Twistables feel somewhat soft (kind of like a crayon) but perform like a colored pencil. You can layer and blend with them quite easily, just like traditional colored pencils. Crayola Twistable Colored Pencils are definitely worth a try. If you color, you will love them! They are so fun and delightful to use. And you can’t beat the convenience of no sharpening! What about fine lines and details? Contrary to what you may assume with a blunt point you still are able to create a fine line and detail with these pencils. All you need to do is look for a fine edge on the point a voila! fine line. PROTECTED COLOR CORE: The plastic barrel helps prevent damage to color core. Twist down to protect color tips when not in use. Although, it won’t be super, super crisp, it will be a softer fine line. It’s kind of similar to working with pastels in this way. (Notice in the tree picture the finer lines I was able to produce for the branches).
