The Inventor Activity For Children: Letter Stamp

The Inventor Activity For Children: Letter Stamp

Making your own letter stamps is easy and all it requires are a few materials. Rubber stamps are used in so many ways! You may use them to seal letters, monogram your favourite things, and so much more. The earliest printing press used a mechanism where keys were pressed to imprint letters on a page. This process made it easier than handwriting each of the pages! So, go ahead and check out the inventor letter stamp activity video to make your own stamps.

  • Using a sketch pen, write the letter you’d like to make.
  • Cut along the sketch pen lines using a pair of scissors or cutter.
  • Cut squares from a sheet of styrofoam.

Imagine you had to create a book with all the letter stamps, you’ll have to make 26 letter stamps! But, for starters, how about you create the letter stamps for all the letters of your name?
