June & December Field Flower Press

The mid-size June & December press — light enough to carry, big enough to handle full wildflowers and large fern fronds. The press that sits in a tote during a meadow walk and produces pressed botanicals worth framing.

Children layer flowers between blotting paper inside the press, tighten the screws, and leave it on a sunny windowsill for a week. The result is the kind of pressed botanical sheet that becomes a journal page, a card, or a framed piece of nature art.

Educator notes: Pairs naturally with the Specimen Collecting Kit (for the dimensional finds the press can't flatten) and the Beach Collecting Kit (for sand-and-shell work). A complete nature-classroom triplet.

Specs: Wooden field press with blotting paper, tightening screws. By June & December. Ages 3+.
