Ocean - stamping

Ocean Stamping - I dug through my rubber stamps and found this set.  The kiddos had fun creating a birthday party for the sea critters.

This stamp set is from Stampin' Up.  Here is the blog for my Stampin' Up friend.

Recycling old office stamps

One of the favorite centers in my preschool room includes these stamps.  They are just a bunch of old office stamps that were donated to me, but they're fabulous and the kiddos LOVE them!

Snowman Stamping

Continuing our theme of snowmen, I pulled out this snowman stamp set for the kiddos to play with today.  I love this set because all the various bits to decorate the snowman are separate stamps.

P.S.  The stamp set is from Stampin' Up.  You can find my Stampin' Up demonstrator's blog here.

Here is one of my fours at work with the stamp set:

 

Alphabet Stamps

I found these alphabet stamps at Walmart in their scrapbook section.  There were only $1!  I put them in our writing center with a stamp pad.  The kiddos enjoyed stamping them.  I think I should make name and word cards for next time and then challenge the kiddos to find those letters and stamp them.

$1 Stamps!

Oh how I love the $1 bins at Michaels, Target, JoAnns....

These fabulous fall stamps I found just this week at Michaels.  We are using the skull and crossbones this week with our pirate theme.  They make a very jolly - jolly roger!

Thrift store stamps

I have a confession:  I LOVE stamps, of all kinds.  But I particularly love old office stamps.  So when I stumbled upon a whole bucketful I was gleeful!  The kiddos love to stamp too, keeping it on the paper is the only tricky part!

I decided to create a mail center for the kiddos:

I have been saving all my unused junk mail envelops and the envelops I don't use when paying bills.  The kiddos have a blast stamping and stuffing envelopes.

Here is a picture of one of my threes happily stuffing address labels into an envelope.  Once he got the stickers in he carefully glued the envelope shut (he wasn't interested in licking it) then stamped a few stamps on it and it was ready for delivery!
