Binney & Smith, which manufactures Crayola products, this year introduced twistable crayons, which look like long, slender lip gloss pencils. They come in packs of eight classic colors and never need sharpening. ''They're for kids who think they've outgrown the coloring years,'' said Susan Tucker, a spokeswoman for Binney & Smith. Although it's too early to tell how much of the formidable back-to-school crayon market the new crayons will capture (last year, Crayola sold 32.6 million boxes of crayons, with an old favorite, the 24-count box, leading the pack), if a need arises, you can get the twistables online at Crayola.com ($2.87).
THE CLASSICS -- Figuring that more and more parents will want to take advantage of the convenience of one-stop shopping, online retailers like Staples and Office Depot are offering wider selections of the basics this year. Office Depot, in fact, started a new site last month, School.com, to focus on the classics, from glue sticks ($1.49 for a four-pack) to three-hole filler paper (59 cents for 200 sheets). Staples offers free shipping on orders over $50, and School.com on orders of at least $50.
My next call was to Wendell Holloway, the man who arguably was to blame for my trouble last year. His company, Interactive Publishing, created the first stretchable book covers as far back as 1991 and holds a patent on a particular style that comes complete with a stretchable bookmark. For much of the 1990's, they were sold directly to schools; three years ago, Mr. Holloway's book covers moved into the retail channel. (The covers are $4.99 apiece in a wide selection of patterns at the company's Internet site, at book-looks.com.)
