Daily Idea #145: Pressed Flowers

Nature walks can be very calming. Listening to the sounds of the wind or the birds, breathing in the fresh air, maybe even feeling grass or sand between your toes. Trying to take the feeling into our everyday lives is challenging.

For today’s daily idea we are going into nature and each picking 5 small flowers; flowers of different species and colors. We are going to bring them home and press them to save and turn them into an art project in the next few weeks (so save those flowers once they are pressed).

To press flowers, place them in between 2 sheets of wax paper and then place that inside of a heavy book. Leave your flowers in the book for the next week or two and we’ll be doing our art project with the finished flowers then.
