Crayola 24 Twistables Colored Pencils: Twist to Reveal Color, No Sharpener Needed

This set of Crayola Twistables includes 24 colored pencils. To use them, twist the end to expose more color, rather than sharpening. The clear plastic barrel shows the remaining color and protects the pencil from breaking. They are recommended for children ages 5 and older.

How Do Twistables Work Without a Sharpener?

Each Twistables pencil uses a simple twist mechanism. Turn the base clockwise to push the color core upward as it wears down. There is no wood to shave, no shavings to clean up, and no need for a sharpener. The twisting action is straightforward and easy for children to do themselves.

What Does the Clear Case Do?

The transparent barrel serves two purposes. First, it lets you see exactly how much color is left, so you know when to twist for more or when a pencil is nearly empty. Second, it acts as a protective sleeve around the color core, preventing breakage if the pencil is dropped or tossed in a bag. This makes Twistables more durable than traditional colored pencils with exposed wood.

Who Are These Colored Pencils For?

Crayola recommends Twistables for children ages 5 and up. They are ideal for arts and crafts projects, homework, or creative doodling. Because no sharpener is needed, they are a safer and less messy option for younger kids. The set of 24 colors gives a broad palette suitable for most coloring activities.
