FAQ

• Do you offer helpful tips for using the Paper Flower Science Kit?

  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.

  Cleaning Tips:

  • Rinse and dry all pots, covers, funnels, and watering can.
  • Recap ink bottles and markers.

  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.
