DIY Stamps For Kids

Do your kids love crafts? Mine do! And I had a big batch of notes to write, long overdue! And no cards. Time for a kids craft. In the past we have made our own cards with scratch-n-sniff paint. That was fun, but it’s time to try something new – well new to us! We made stamps from foam – to print cards together.

How To Make Simple Block Stamps For Kids

Step 1

Cut lots of little strips from your block.

Step 2

Lay them over your block in a diagonal fashion if you want the “Chevron” look. You can also make plaid with stripes. The sky is the limit!

Step 3

Lay your strip over the block and “pinch” it where the overlap goes over the edge of the block. This will be your “cut line”.

Step 4

Cut along the crease with your scissors.

Step 5

Remove the backing to the strips and lay them over the block.

Step 6

Dip the foam covered block lightly in paint and press it on your cardstock paper. Viola!

Step 7

Repeat with a variety of patterns to create the design that your cards will have.

It might be fun, try overlapping a variety of colors. We loved the look of the neon yellow covered by neon pink. Gorgeous!
