4 creative ideas to make with stamps

In winter there is nothing better than spending a quiet afternoon at home, possibly in front of the fireplace, enjoying a hot cup of tea. If the children are also at home, then entertain them with a fun creative activity so they don't get bored.
Looking for inspiration? We will help you with an overview of 4 possibilities to pass the time quickly on long winter afternoons.

1. Smiley stamps

Are your children little artists? Then they should be encouraged to let their imagination run wild by drawing and colouring their own little works of art.
A fun activity could be to invent an art exhibition: give them drawing assignments, let them exchange their masterpieces and, just like a jury, give them a grade.
The vote should not be given with a score, but by using one of our smiley stamps. Each judge will then put a smiley face on the other competitor's work and in no time at all the afternoon is spent in merriment.

2. Motivational Stamps

At the end of the school year your children deserve praise if they have done their best at school.
With our motivational stamps you can add a touch of colour and also show your appreciation for their achievements by adding a personal touch to their report cards.
Even for less brilliant report cards you could use a motivational stamp, in which case, more neutral options can also be used to communicate that you are not fully satisfied with their work.
Tip: after applying the stamp, whatever it is, explain to them why the stamp is there and what it means to you.

3. Learning the clock

Learning to tell the time on an analogue clock has never been easier with our clock stamps.
Let your children experiment and learn how to tell the time with these stamps. They will allow your children to practice as long as they want and until they have learned to tell the time without difficulty.
The possibilities are endless, one of the options could be a game with prizes: the contestants who answer the questions correctly and guess the time printed on the stamp several times win a nice prize.

4. Do-it-yourself stamps

If you want to keep your children busy with creative activities, one possible solution could be to let them build and design their own stamps.
Of course it will take some time before the do-it-yourself stamps can be used by their little inventors, but the satisfaction of using something built with their own hands will be very great.

Attention: this activity requires adult supervision as it can be a delicate task.
To do this activity you need some specific materials and a good working method, so we recommend that you inform yourself before trying out this new activity.
You can find good advice in hobby and toy shops or simply by looking for a guide on the internet.
Generally speaking, with some rubber, an ink pad, glossy paper and glue you can easily create your own self-designed stamps.
