Stamping and Print-Making Activities for Kids

Happy Friday Lovely!

I hope you've had a great week!

I just wanted to share a few ideas that I thought your kids (big and small) might enjoy next week.

Stamping! Is there a kid out there who doesn't love it?

I've rounded up all of our stamping and print-making ideas and put them into one post for you.

You don't need any special stamps or ink pads either - you can use things you already have around the house - toilet rolls, styrofoam, wine corks etc.

They're all super-easy and super-fun ways to get creative if your kids are bored or cooped up indoors because of nasty weather.

GAHH! We are on such a roll with our Valentines crafts, and they're all so super-cool.

Ok, you have to check these out, Lovely.

We tried "printmaking" and we just used a styrofoam produce tray (from the grocery store) and a paint roller.

I can't believe how flipping awesome the process and results were.

I want to make all of my holiday cards this way now!

SUPER-fun and preschoolers can do this just as easily as teens!

Click the link below and do this with your kids this week!! xx
