Homemade Stamps For Kids

We love mixing up homemade art materials in our house. Homemade is a frugal and often environmentally friendly alternative to many commercial art materials. With that in mind, I found this article of homemade stamps kids can make (or help make). It also makes use of all your unwanted items that you were going to chuck out!
How about making your own paint pad too? All you need: Sponges, plastic containers (recycle takeaway containers), paint, scissors and a pen. All you then need to do is: Trace around the base of the container onto your sponge with the pen. Cut around the shape. Place a sponge into each container. Cover each sponge liberally with the paint and stamp away! THAT’S IT! Just make sure you add plenty of paint so the stamp pads do not dry out and cover when not in use. You can always add a little water if needed. Check out how to make your own stamps via the link below….
