Orbeez Play 'n Display Tray Design

We love the versatility of Orbeez! Orbeez toys are an ideal choice for creative, open-ended play. Many families love Orbeez because of the design and display possibilities. The ideas are endless. That’s why we designed a special Play ‘n Display tray to show off your Orbeez designs. Here are a few suggestions:

Create a pattern – how about circles, squares and triangles in multiple colors?

Design a landscape – a flower, tree, pond or ocean.

Rows of colors – show off the beautiful, bright colors of Orbeez by displaying different rows of color.

Dots of color – alternate different Orbeez colors to create brilliant dots of color.
