Mader Kreiselmanufaktur Flower Press with Wooden Thread

This beautiful handmade wooden flower press by Mader allows you to press leaves and flowers all year round. Made from solid European hardwood with wooden screws and nuts, with a wooden nut key. 

This traditional Mader Flower Press kit is a wonderful addition to a Montessori or Waldorf education setting, preserving delicate flowers for enjoyment throughout the year. 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 wooden nuts with the wooden key. 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 sheets in a single layer, 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.
