Toys and Games Reviews of Crayola Twistables Markers
Customer Review: Not really solving the problem - and NOT washable
Summary: 3 Stars
The twistable top is a neat idea and certainly solves the problem of lost caps -- but it's not a solution to the problem of dried-out markers, if you have young kids. It still relies on the child to remember to close the marker when finished. If your kid doesn't remember to put the caps back onto his/her regular markers, chances are pretty good that he/she won't remember to twist the twistable marker shut, at least not once the novelty of the twisting action has worn off.
The design seems to be based on a valve or hinge of some kind, inside the marker. When you twist it "up," the valve opens and lets the drawing tip emerge. When you twist it "down," the tip goes back into the marker body and the valve closes to keep it from drying out. So, it's easy to see that if you don't take care to twist it all the way, the marker tip is left unprotected and will dry out. I can't speak to how durable the valves are, as we have only been using these markers a week or two so far.
I bought two packages of these; in one package, one marker was completely dried out when we opened the package, and another was partially dried out. In the other package, all were fine.
Note also that these markers are NOT washable like many of the other Crayola markers!!! Of course they will wash off eventually, but they don't come off easily with a little bit of soap and water, like the ones with the "Washable" designation do.
