Mader Kreiselmanufaktur Wooden Daisy Flower Press
This beautiful handmade wooden miniature flower press by Mader allows you to press leaves and flowers all year round. Made from solid European hardwood with metal wing nuts and screws, with card and felt sheets.
This traditional Mader Flower Press kit is a wonderful addition to a Montessori or Waldorf education setting, preserving small delicate flowers for enjoyment throughout the year. This miniature flower press is perfect for taking out and about thanks to its compact size. Identify and learn about each flower as it's pressed and create beautiful works of art with the results. Younger children will enjoy practicing their fine motor skills by threading and tightening the wingnuts. This educational toy makes a thoughtful gift for children, bringing them closer to nature and encouraging creativity. To press your flowers, lay them out on the cardboard and felt sheets in a single layer, this absorbs any moisture and helps dry them out, tighten the screws and leave for 3 to 4 weeks for the best results. Pressed flowers make beautiful treasured keepsakes for special occasions, create cards, framed pictures and add them to your journal to remember significant events.
