With stamps, children can indulge their imagination and easily create their own little masterpieces.
Which theme is undoubtedly the most enjoyable for children? Definitely animals.
On our website you will find a collection of animal stamps to entertain your children and develop their creativity.

Animal stamps: spoilt for choice

When you hear the word stamp, everyone thinks of an office stamp with an engraved VAT number, but a stamp is not just that.
Stamps come in all types, shapes and sizes: date stamps, numbering stamps, branding irons, embossing presses, sealing wax stamps, wooden stamps with a wide variety of themes, hobby stamps, etc.

If you are looking for a nice stamp for your children or if you are a children's art teacher looking for a new fun exercise for your pupils, you are in the right place.
You are spoilt for choice, because in our assortment we have wooden stamps with rubber plates, transparent polymer stamps and many creative and special stamps for the hobby.
The advantage of the transparent polymeric stamps is not only the great variety of themes, but also the large and complex printing possibilities.

Also very important is the choice of the right ink pad. With "my first colourbox", a pad with quick-drying and washable ink, especially designed for young users, you will give your child hours of creativity.

In our assortment of animal stamps there are many varieties of animals:

• cats
• dogs
• horses
• bunnies
• lizards
• birds
• butterflies
• and much more!

Animals and Nature, combine them in your heart

The beauty of drawing is that you can combine techniques and materials by following your heart.
Give your child hours of fun and creativity by expanding their stamp collection with new nature-themed elements or stamps for letters and numbers.
The stamps are also very easy to use with pens, pencils and paints. For example, you can create a background and then decorate it with animals that can be simply coloured in or you can add other elements.

Surprised by the disarming creativity of children?
With a bit of paper, scissors and the right tools, children can create the most beautiful works of art and stay busy for hours with their creativity.
A set of wooden stamps should never be missing from their tool kit. Even as adults it is easy to appreciate the advantages of wooden stamps.

1. Durable

One of the most important characteristics of wooden stamps is that they are extremely sturdy and even if a child drops them, there is no need to panic. In contrast to many other types of stamps, wooden stamps are much less likely to break as a result of an accidental fall. Wooden stamps are not only solid but also durable.

2. Handy

Wooden stamps for professional use have a long handle and are thus easy to handle. Wooden stamps are also generally compact and handy, suitable for quick and easy use.

3. In various formats

The Posta Climax series is available in various formats, allowing these wooden stamps to contain a short name, a logo or even your complete address.

4. Not just for the office

Wooden stamps don't just have to be used as office stamps, they are also perfect as hobby stamps or for personalising invitations and correspondence.

5. Style and elegance

Wooden stamps radiate elegance, a wooden stamp has more style than a plastic or rubber one.
A wooden stamp or a retro set of wooden stamps are the highlight of your desk. Take notice, these beautiful tools will draw all the attention of your visitors to them.

Be inspired by the huge assortment of wooden stamps in our collection.

Preparing for an end-of-year gathering always takes a lot of time and perhaps it is the invitations - which set the party mood - that require the most effort.
Are you looking for inspiration for an original invitation? Our advice is: use a special mark such as an embossing press or a wax seal to give your invitations that extra touch that will make them unforgettable.

Embossing

Embossing stamps allow you to create a magnificent relief print on paper. The embossing plate of the embossing stamps has an engraved pattern which is pressed against the paper and gives a beautiful print of logos or texts.
An embossing press is for everyone, not only for notaries, but also for normal correspondence or to refine invitations and give style, sophistication and authenticity to your letters.

Tip: personalise your embossing press by uploading your own image or text and start making beautiful and elegant prints right away.

Hobby Stamps

Who still makes invitations or cards by hand? Many people still do!
Let your creativity run wild with one of our stamps from the hobby assortment...
The alphabet stamps are ideal for adding text to make your invitations unique and personal, while the clear stamps allow you to print a beautiful image with a nature or sports theme.
You can also combine the various techniques to achieve even more impressive results.
Don't be afraid that your invitations will look too messy, a good compromise between decoration and minimalism is the key to success.

Wax seals

Do you want the ultimate in elegance and style? Then there's no doubt about it, you want a wax seal.
Wax seals are ideal for preparing special invitations such as Christmas or New Year's Eve invitations.
A seal with a decorated Christmas tree? A glass of sparkling wine? A traditional monogram? You are spoilt for choice.

There are very few occasions that a child looks forward to more than his or her birthday and the party that follows.
While the preparations are underway, the birthday boy is probably thinking about what games to play with his friends and schoolmates, what presents he will receive and how to organise his day.
So why not let them organise the invitations too?
Let your child's imagination run wild and let him or her create their own birthday party invitations.
Both the classmates and their parents will greatly appreciate the originality and creativity of the birthday boy/girl.

The Basics

Would you like to try out this creative activity with your child? These are the basics to get started:

• Use a paper or cardboard base that is strong enough and durable enough to prevent it from breaking during the process.
• Use craft materials and save enough to decorate all the invitations.
• Let your child experiment and find their own style, but try to keep up with them and guide their process. (In this way you will achieve a result you will both be proud of).

Start by collecting the materials needed for decoration such as coloured pencils, felt-tip pens, wax colours, stickers, beads or fabrics and don't be afraid to experiment with materials such as wool and needle and thread.
For everything else, a bit of glue and scissors are the only tools needed.

The stamp: incredibly fun

There is also another way to give a personal and unique touch to your child's birthday party invitations, a stamp is an unexpected solution that will surprise you.
With our hobby stamps your child can unleash all his creativity.
Our hobby stamps offer a great choice of shapes and themes: spirals, flowers, animals etc., but you can also insert a personal text of your choice to make your stamp even more unique.

Tip: It is better to have more than one ink pad for your stamps, so that you do not have to wait for your turn to stamp if several artists are working at the same time in the same creative session.

Geocaching, better known as treasure hunting, is one of the favourite activities of young, adventurous sportsmen and women.
There are few people who are not familiar with this hobby yet, and it will only grow in popularity over time, because geocaching is becoming more and more popular and in vogue.
This hybrid of sport and hobby is easy to do, all you need is a stamp to leave your mark and you're done.

Find out more about this hobby sport and become a real champion here.

What is Geocaching?

We can define this phenomenon as the modern evolution of treasure hunting.
Someone will hide a waterproof box (the cache) containing some treasures and a diary. The coordinates to find the treasure will be published online and interested parties can then start their search.
Once the treasure chest has been located, it is possible to take the treasure, exchange it or add another one, so the treasure will always be different. To continue, all you have to do is sign the diary with your own stamp as a sign of your passage and return the treasure chest to its rightful place so that other competitors can participate.
What do you think? Participants will visit places they would normally never go, often in the middle of unspoilt nature.

Geocaching stamp for the treasure diary

As mentioned, a key part of geocaching is the signing of the treasure diary.
To do this, it is necessary to use a stamp that imprints the name and date on which the seeker visited the hiding place with a simple gesture.
There are different types of stamps that can be used for this purpose, and here we give some tips on which model to choose.
The stamp should be compact in order to be easily transportable, it should be of good quality in order to avoid fading after the first printings and it should be customisable in order to be unique and to be able to identify without a shadow of a doubt who it belongs to.
For the above reasons we recommend a date stamp for geocaching which is available in various shapes and sizes and can be easily customised with one or more lines of text above or below the date.

Customised geocaching stamp

For lovers and experts of this hobby-sport, our company offers a wide range of products and centuries of experience.
Take a look at our website for all available solutions or create your own design directly with the integrated stamp configurator.

Wooden stamps are also great tools for personalising and adding that extra touch to your cards, letters, invitations and correspondence.
These stamps have a nice shape, are light and handy and require an ink pad to use.
