How to make wooden foam stampers for the kids

I just made some of these awesome DIY foam stampers, they are easy to make and super fun for the kids to use, try it today.

What you’ll need:

wooden dowel
saw
foam
craft knife
glue
paint (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cut your dowel into small pieces.

2. Sand the edges so that it is not sharp.

3. Draw a shape on foam and cut it out.

4. Glue the shape onto the end of the wood.

5. If you wish you can paint the wood and draw a picture on the other end of shape.

6. Get stamping.

Your kids really would love these and they are so easy to make!

These are such a clever idea. I had bought one from a craft supply shop, but making your own really gives you an opportunity to personalise the design.

This is a great idea. I wonder if you could use circular toy blocks to stock the foam shapes on instead.

the details aren’t very helpful in one respect.
1. which type of foam are you referring to?.
2. how thick should it be?

  Stamps can still be used for making cards when children are older. Even adults can use them too. They make cards look so pretty.
