MATERIALS

Here are the items you will need:

• 1 One clear vase from your local craft store (you can select your desired shape/size. The bigger the vase, the more PEEPS and colorful play sand!)

• 1 bag of green Crayola Play Sand. (Click here to find it at a store near you!)

• 1 styrofoam block (make sure it fits in the vase!)

• Your choice of Marshmallow PEEPS!

• 1 glue gun

• 1 pair of wire cutters (not pictured)

• 1 cup, scooper or hand shovel

• Your choice of silk flowers

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Warm up your glue gun and add an appropriate amount of glue to the styrofoam block and immediately press it downward into the bottom of the base. Allow a few minutes for it to dry.

2. Carefully use a cup or hand shovel to pour an appropriate amount of Crayola Play Sand into the vase at least 1/3 of the way. (The amount of play sand you use depends on the size of the vase and how many peeps you plan to use)! Make sure the sand is even along the edges.

3. Place the individual PEEPS side by side in the vase. Careful not to squish them :)

4. Continue adding PEEPS until the entire perimeter of the vase is covered. If your vase size allows, you can add however many rows you wish!

5. Grab your favorite silk flowers, cut the stem to an appropriate size of the vase with wire cutters and insert them into the styrofoam block one by one.

And now your beautiful Easter Bouquet is complete! :)

We hope you enjoy making this delightful colorful bouquet this springtime season!

Add a Pop of Color to Your Aquarium Using Crayola Play Sand

Brighten your aquarium with our sand, and know our safe, nontoxic colored sand will never fade or bleed.

Crayola Play Sand is bleedproof and our all natural quartz sand resists abrasion better than typical sands. Each grain of sand has been screened and is completely round – giving it a smooth soft feel. Our sand is non-toxic, lead free and the colorant is bonded to the sand at 250°F which destroys any possible fungal material or biomaterial. As a matter of fact we don't even use chemicals in our cleaning process - it goes through an extremely hot water wash. 

And like all Crayola products, our Play Sand underwent extreme product testing, however, we don't do any animal testing. If you would like to find out more about the safe uses of our sand, we encourage you to visit official aquarium forums and blogs.
