Pressed Feathers Plants & Leaves - 22 pieces

This beautifully curated 22-piece set of Pressed Feathers, Plants & Leaves invites children to observe and appreciate the fine details of the natural world. Featuring real-life specimens such as feathers, flowers, herbs, and leaves, each piece is carefully laminated between clear plastic sheets to preserve its unique structure while allowing safe handling and close observation. These specimens are ideal for use on light boxes, against windows, or during hands-on STEM activities that explore nature, biology and environmental science.

Children are naturally drawn to textures, patterns and colours in nature, and this resource provides a structured way to examine these elements while encouraging scientific curiosity. As each piece is a genuine natural specimen, variations in size, colour and shape promote observation and comparative thinking, enhancing early science and inquiry skills.
