The SES Creative Explore Microwave Flower Press lets children preserve flowers and leaves in under a minute, doing away with the weeks of waiting that traditional flower pressing requires. Children collect flowers and leaves from the garden, arrange them between the felt pads inside the wooden press, and secure it shut. With adult supervision, a short spell in the microwave produces beautifully preserved specimens that are ready to use straight away.

This microwave flower press opens up a range of creative projects once the dried flowers are prepared – decorating cards, pictures, and journals are just a few possibilities. The process is straightforward: gather, arrange, press, and create. By cutting the drying time down so dramatically, the SES Creative Explore Microwave Flower Press keeps children engaged with the results rather than waiting on them, making nature-based craft sessions far more satisfying from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

The press is designed to dry flowers and leaves in approximately 20 seconds. Exact timing can vary slightly depending on the wattage of the microwave and how much moisture the specific flowers contain, so checking after the initial burst and repeating in short intervals is recommended. Adult supervision is required throughout.
The kit contains a decorated wooden flower press (two boards), layered felt and cardboard pressing sheets, sticky sheets for mounting finished flowers, a pink elastic band to secure the press, and an instruction booklet. Flowers and leaves are collected by the child from their garden or local outdoor space.
Dried specimens are ready to use immediately after pressing. Children can arrange them onto greeting cards, journal pages, bookmarks, picture frames, and scrapbook layouts. The included sticky sheets make it straightforward to position and fix the flowers without additional glue.
