2.0 out of 5 stars Nice idea, but those are the breaks, December 24, 2010

Adding pencils to the Twistable trend seemed like a neat idea. But if the "leads" breaks in the pencil, they are unusuable because they wiggle back and forth in the plastic holder. And they do break - of our 18, about 4 or 5 are out of commission already. If the leads come out, they can't be used independently because they're too fragile to be held by hand. Too fragile for constructive use. (Amanda's point about their non-biodegradability is well-taken, and rhyming!)

These are by far the worst products from Crayola. I am so disappointed that Crayola would release such a product that is so substandard in quality. The leads have broken off on several of the pencils & my daughter has not had a chance to enjoy playing with them. As one of the reviewer has accurately stated, once the leads break off, it's unusable! Not worth the money spent. My confidence in Crayola's products has diminished drastically.

I understand the draw to twistable colored pencils, and they work OK but I prefer the originals for ease of use. My son tends to twist these too high and gets frustrated using them.
