- Paint: Thoroughly dry pieces may be painted with tempera, acrylic, or watercolor paint

- Glitter Glue can be used to decorate dry artwork.
Other product suggestions: pigment-based stamping pads and metallic powder pigment embellishments.

Our experts have a few tips to help your creativity bloom with the Crayola Paper Flower Science Kit.
For Best Results:
- Protect clothing and work surface before starting.
- Wipe water and ink spills immediately.
Cleaning Tips:
- Rinse and dry all pots, covers, funnels, and watering can.
- Recap ink bottles and markers.
- Wipe away any spills from work surfaces.
Looking for refills?
- Need another bouquet? White coffee filters are the perfect alternative to paper petals because they mimic the wicking process of the ink into the paper.
- Have leftover ink? To make your creativity bloom again, rinse the used cores and tips under running water to clean up as much of the ink as possible. Just be sure to wipe up any ink right away and let the cores and tips dry thoroughly. We’ve found this craft hack works best when the ink is fresh and hasn’t had too much time to set.

The possibilities are endless with Crayola Quick Dry Paint Sticks! These colorful tools are water-based, soft, solid sticks—perfect for creating on almost any surface.
For a 60-Second Dry Time:
- Use on porous surfaces, such as copy paper, poster board, or construction paper. Non-porous surfaces like canvas board will extend the dry time.
- A little goes a long way! Only use one or two layers of color. Adding more layers will add to your dry time.
- Make sure you use the paint sticks in a low humidity environment.
- Use a fan or blower dryer (no heat) to help them dry quicker.
