Among the abundance of toys in the store today you can see children's stamps. In large quantities, they offer to make them and Internet sites. What is it - stamps for children, are they really necessary for kids and whether it is possible to make them yourself - this will be discussed further.

Ways to organize children's activities

The fact that children love to draw is no secret. That's just for kids 3-4 years old, this does not always work out well. Alternatively, you can use children's prints. Those bought in the store look like the real ones, which in itself arouses the interest of children. But the resulting drawings turn out to be heroes of cartoons and fairy tales, parts of a single picture, such as a landscape, the realities of our world, which the crumbs are just getting to know (vegetables, animals), funny emoticons, etc. A set of stamps can be selected or ordered individually for each child, depending on his age and interests.

Another thing is children's stamps made by their own hands. After all, if you initially involve the guys in this process, the seals will turn out exactlythe way they want to see them.

From what we have

If it is not possible to buy or order children's stamps in the right quantity, or you want to get something special, you can make them yourself. The most suitable materials: eraser, foam rubber, thick cardboard, vegetables, etc. Here are options on how to do this.

• Prepare the details of the old constructor. Cut out squares from thick paper, and preferably from thin plastic, equal in size to the base of the parts. Glue them together. From foam - a food tray-container is suitable - cut out the necessary figures. Here you can use ordinary paper stencils. There is only a little left: with the help of double adhesive tape, glue the figures to the cube from the designer. Homemade stamps are ready. Similarly, they can be made from a bottle cap (it will replace a designer part) or caps from drinking yogurt and foam rubber.
• Make the necessary inscriptions (numbers, letters, whole words) or drawings on a piece of cardboard and coat with glue. Put a dense thread pre-selected in size and impregnated with glue on top. Let dry. The original stamp is ready.
• It's very easy to make any raised print on an eraser, styrofoam and even a potato. First you will need to draw the desired pattern on the surface - the potato will need to be cut in half beforehand - then process it with a sharp knife. Then everything is as usual - dip the print in paint and transfer the print to paper.

In general, anything can be used: buttons and a rollerfor cleaning clothes, real leaves and garden flowers, vegetables and children's toys, even baby's hands and fingers. For example, a cut stalk of Beijing cabbage will make a beautiful rose, an elegant flower will be born from the bottom of a plastic bottle, and a whole composition will be born under a rolling pin with specially pasted prints. Parents only need to show imagination, listen to their children and, most importantly, not be afraid that they will get dirty.

Game children's stamps

Now about where and how you can use purchased or homemade stamps.

All of them can be divided into 2 groups: play and business, or functional.

The first, as the name suggests, will help organize the leisure time of the little one. So, with the help of game stamps for children, you can create a real picture on paper. You just need to show the baby how to do it right. First dip the print in paint, then determine the desired location on the sheet. Finally, carefully place the stamp on the paper and carefully lift it up - the drawing is ready.

With educational seals, you can learn numbers, letters, colors, geometric shapes, animals and more.

Older children love to copy the work of teachers, doctors, directors, etc. They will definitely love the adult seals, which will be a great addition to role-playing games.

What does the use of such stencils give?

First of all, this is a very exciting activity for kids, which will help organize their leisure time for quite a long time. With children's stamps, children willlearn the realities of the world, develop imagination and creative thinking, learn communication. It is also important that seals contribute to the development of fine motor skills, coordination of movements, and teach you to plan your activities.

Not only for play, but also for business

There are also functional children's stamps that will really help in life, but already for adults. For example, parents, sending their children to kindergarten, school, camp, often embroider their first and last name on their clothes - a kind of identification mark. It will be possible to get rid of this need for many years if you order a print with the child's data. With its help, I put a mark on the inside of the clothes - and the child will always be able to identify his pajamas or blouse.

The children's stamp will help the educator or primary school teacher. After all, they usually evaluate the work of their wards with the help of drawings or funny faces. And with such an assistant, it will be much easier and faster to do it.
