Scents

Pros:

  • "The scents are awesome. It's fun for kids and, hell yeah it's fun for adults!"
  • "They smell so good and it took me back to when my kids were little."
  • "These Crayola Twistables Scented Crayons & Colored Pencils smell delightful and twist up so easily, they are a pleasure to use."
  • "They smell great the only down side is if you have an aggressive colorer they can break fairly easy."
  • "And as my kiddo thinks, they smell fantastic (they really do)..."
  • "With few exceptions, all of the crayons smell like berry, or some form of fruit."
  • "They smell fun and there is a great color selection."

Cons:

  • "The scents however are not that distinctive..."
  • "They don't really smell like anything specific. They smell different from a regular crayon but not like what they are labeled."
  • "The crayons smell nothing to what is it suppose to smell, they all smell the same."
  • "The scents all combine into one headache of a smell. There is zero differentiating between them."
  • "Every single one of these crayons smell they same to me. Vaguely fruity, but not really identifiable."
  • "Unfortunately, the scents on the crayons are not distinguishable between each other - they all smell the same."
  • "These all smell the same!!! Literally all the same."

Durability and Design

Pros:

  • "The thicker pencils are definitely more rugged than the pencil crayons."
  • "The crayons are satisfying to draw with and have a soft feel to the drawing tip - yet they are fairly sturdy and don't mash down when used by small ones with too much force."
  • "They seem to be pretty sturdy as my kids dropped a few of them and the crayon part inside didn't break."
  • "The plastic case helps with smaller kids, as they can't break the crayon in half (accidentally or on purpose)."
  • "The plastic casing keeps them from being broken when using harder pressure for coloring making them usable for much longer."
  • "These crayons have great durability, they don’t break."
  • "They last longer than a traditional crayon and they are a lot more sturdy than regular crayons."

Cons:

  • "Some crayons wouldn't even twist up."
  • "Most of them broke or stripped inside the mechanism making them useless."
  • "A few of the crayons were broken."
  • "These pencils are not durable for small children who drop them, or are playful while coloring as we have experienced the inner color comes loose very easily."
  • "They break super easy. One rolls off the table and hits the floor and the stick of color inside is broken."
  • "Also, once the crayon inside the plastic outside breaks, you can not stick it back in!! So frustrating."
  • "Don’t waste your money like I did, they looked like someone stomped on them they were all broken I would never recommend!!"

Functionality

Pros:

  • "Perfect for a toddler to use to learn to draw letters and shapes."
  • "The selection of colors is very good in both the crayons and the pencils. They cover the rainbow."
  • "Crayola has been encouraging budding artists for over 100 years and this is a wonderful set - worthy of the Crayola name."
  • "I like twistables since they don't have to be sharpened."
  • "These Crayola Silly Scents Twistables are actually my favorite."
  • "It's fun to try to identify the individual scents as you use the crayons and pencils but it's a guessing game since the different scents are not labeled on the crayons and pencils themselves."
  • "This set is SUPER cool for gift giving, with all the scents listed on the outside of the box."

Cons:

  • "As the time went on the smells as you color are not noticeable now."
  • "The crayons are easy to hold and use for my granddaughter."
  • "The pencils are awful as well and barely leave any color when they write."
  • "It is impossible to color in the lines with these weird shaped tips."
  • "I wouldn’t recommend these for younger kids."
  • "The colors aren’t as bold as regular crayons, but do the job."
  • "The crayons are a waxy RoseArt quality with very little color."

Packaging and Labeling

Pros:

  • "The back of the box shows you what scents are included."
  • "The box that these come in is not going to last, and there are no caps to these."
  • "Enough colors to split up to keep some at home and send some to school."
  • "The plastic casing ensures the crayons don't break. And they are not messy, so hands stay clean."
  • "I love these crayons because it's less likely my toddler can break them!"
  • "They color very nicely and leave zero mess like a normal crayon would."
  • "They work fine for coloring but I got them for my daughter for the scents. Also the container doesn't easily close back up."

Cons:

  • "I will probably find something plastic to store them in."
  • "The second was the crayons are not labeled which probably would not be a problem if they smelled like they were supposed."
  • "This is how they came into the box! And there was a hole in the corner of the box so I ended up with only 57 NOT 72!"
  • "Also, the colors were a less vibrant than typical crayons."
  • "The crayon box came taped together. Looked used and beat up."
  • "Bought as a gift and the crayon/ pencil box was trashed when it arrived."
  • "When opened for first time the smell of the crayon & crayon pencils were noticeable."
