Flower Press Kit

With the cold weather creeping in so quickly it is sometimes sad to see the flowers go away. But it is also perfect time for the kids to enjoy fall and learn about the lifecycle of the trees and plants. We visited my brother in california and it is still warm at this time and they have more flowers than us so I decided to teach kids the art of pressing flowers and make cards for the holidays. We collected a ton of flowers in various colors and let both of them pick their favorite. My sister in law had a Flower Press Kit by Alex in house.

So we used that and pressed a lot of flowers. The kit came with directions so it was so easy to follow for the kids. And finally we brought back our pressed flowers to New Jersey and maybe after the flowers are fully dried we will do some card making activity. I think the kids enjoyed the process and I liked them watching pick out their flowers. That was our weekend in CA....love the weather in California!!
