Im-press them

With the Botanist Case from Moulin Roty, wee naturalists can use the included flower press to preserve natural specimens — and later transform them into a thoughtful gift for Mother’s Day, Grandparents Day, or just mount them into a scrapbook as keepsakes of a visit to a park on a sunny day.

After the blooms and leaves have been dried in the case’s press, the flowers can be laminated and turned into bookmarks, or preserved in resin and transformed into pendants for necklaces, or even arranged into framed collages with additional materials from a craft store.

Recommended for crafters ages 6 and up, the cardboard Botanist Case also includes a magnifying glass, scissors, notebook, and three boxes for storing treasures.
