Pressing Flowers

Using The Flower Press
S59_Header_CrackersAndTheFlowerPress

Today, the teddy bears have been given a flower press to use. It's a kit that lets you dry and press flowers flat so that you can use them to decorate cards, or paste onto boxes, files or books to make them look pretty.

Crackers wanted to try it out straight away, and suggested that they all went out into the garden to each find a flower to press.

The flowers had to be quite small as the press isn't very big - so, no, Tommy, you can't pick a hydrangea flower!! They are way too big!

Teddy chose a sweet pea, Scary chose a little alyssum, Edward chose a geranium, Crackers chose a viola, as did Boo (although they were different colours so that they would be able to tell them apart), James chose a fuchsia and, in the end, Tommy chose a marigold.
