Buying gifts can be hard. Especially when you know the child has got almost EVERYTHING! What I love to give is really something that the child can not only use, but make things with and in turn give it to others. Crafty gifts are a favourite of mine. Most children love craft. One particular crafting project that I’ve just discovered is flower pressing.

A simple act of collecting beautiful flowers, leaves, buds, and pressing it onto paper, which can be used to decorate a scrapbook, greeting cards or even do a plant study with! You child will be fascinated with what they can produce, just by flatening flowers onto paper or cards. Below are some ideas that could inspire your child or even you for your future projects.
