For sentimental or scientific reasons, flower presses have been helping people preserve memories for centuries. This wooden flower press is ingeniously simple!
Put your fresh plant leaves and flowers between the cardboard inserts, fit the top piece back on and tighten the wingnuts. Place somewhere with some ventilation and allow it to press and dry the plant matter.
The dried flowers and leaves make great art or addition to art pieces! Try framing them behind glass or making homemade cards with them.
The cardboard inserts are reusable and will dry themselves due to airflow through their corrugation furrows.
Full instructions are included.

This Balloon Boat is perfect for bath-time. A wonderful alternative to plastic bathtub toys, the durable and solid design of the Balloon Boat means it will keep on floating and is ready for years of play.
So simple to use, just blow the balloon up through the exhaust jet at the back of the boat. Block the exhaust jet with your finger, put the boat in the water and watch it zip across the water like a jet boat!
Comes with a post to attach a bowline to secure the boat (or to pull it back from the far end of the tub or pull it back to you if you are playing in open water)
Want a different balloon colour, shape or size, no problem. You can replace the included balloon with any balloon with a standard-sized opening. It's fun to see how far the boat will go with different sizes of balloons.
The Balloon Boat comes in unfinished wood with no paint, stains or toxic finish. Just leave it to dry on the side of the tub when bath time is done.
Appropriate for children aged 3 and up
Dimensions approximately 6.5" x 3.5"
