Flower Press-Make and Take

Dove into the cardboard stockpiled for the Zimoun Sculpture to make this super-simple flower press with after school kids today.
You'll need:  two pieces of cardboard any size, a stack of newspaper scraps cut 1/2 inch smaller, a couple rubber bands, and flowers or leaves.  After decorating the cover, kids foraged for wildflowers in the field.  We found violets and dandelions, a frog, a snake, and a ladybug named Billy.
Include a stack of extra papers so the kids can add to them throughout the summer.
Wanted to use the flowers for paper making next week, but the kids took them home.
