11. to mount in a scrap book a dozen common wildflowers, with leaves (one every week); to name these, describe them in their own words, and say where they found them.
-A Formidable List of Attainments for a Child of Six
 |
Pick a flower.
(We don't have any wildflowers
growing on our brick-paved patio - yet.
So we picked a pansy.) |
 |
| Put your flower on blotting paper. |
 |
| Put on the top. |
 |
| Screw on the wing nuts. Wait one week. |
After screwing on the wing nuts, my daughter immediately wanted to unscrew them to see the pressed flowers. When I explained to her that we had to wait for seven days, she burst into tears.
