I’ve seen bottle cap stamps and cork stamps, but how about rocks stamps? Go to Google Images and you’ll find Elvis, John Lennon, Ozzy Osborn, and a bunch of other “rock” legends on the front of postage stamps, but nothing like these stamps. I can’t believe that rocks stamps aren’t all over Pinterest. They’re easy as can be to make and so much fun to use. They look pretty cool too!

Here’s a card that took me all of about 2 minutes to make. And that includes making my rock stamps. I can’t wait for my son to try these out. What kid doesn’t love rocks?
Here’s what you need:
Rocks – If you can’t find them outside, look at the craft store or the Dollar Store.
Foam stickers – The Dollar Store and Craftprojectideas.com (stickers available at Walmart), are great places to find foam stickers. You can also glue foam shapes to the rock. For letters and numbers you’ll need to attach them backwards to stamp correctly.
Stamp pad or paint – My absolute favorite stamps pads (shown in my first pic) are these by ColorBox. I love that they come with a variety of colors, and you can just remove the color you want to use. The ink is always vibrant. You could also use paint, although it might be a bit messier.
These rocks don’t have to just be for stamping. Here’s how we use them when we go out to eat. I cut out foam circles had Jake use the rocks for a fun color matching game. They would also be great for storytelling. And there you have it. A simple, cheap, lovable craft that kids will adore.
I’ve been brainstorming about what to do with the 100 wooden toy wheels I have lying around. I seem to have a habit of collecting supplies for projects that I never end up completing (I was originally going to paint the wheels to look like donuts for Jake’s birthday party). Since Jake is car obsessed…
Sometimes learning at home can be difficult for both kids and parents. Whether it’s doing homework, home schooling, or remote learning, it’s important to create a fun and inviting environment. My friend Nadia Colucci is an expert when it comes to decorating Christmas trees for all holidays, not just Christmas, so when we started talking…
I absolutely love painting abstract designs on wooden cut-outs with different art materials. These easy abstract painting ideas are great for all artistic abilities and ages. The best part is that when you’re done you’ll have beautiful DIY abstract wall art to display in your home. See below for a variety of ways to create…
The pictures of my rock doodles are some of my most popular pictures on my Instagram page. The first question I get asked is where do I find such smooth rocks? I’m lucky enough to live near a beach filled with them, but if you’re having trouble finding your own, I see some places below…
With Father’s Day coming up, I thought it would be fun to make a handmade Father’s Day Gift instead of just buying one this year. I always love the thought and effort behind handmade gifts and this is a great gift to give any dad for Father’s Day. You could even do this Father’s Day…
School is back in session! When I was younger I loved shopping for back to school supplies. But what was even more fun was decorating my new trapper keepers or covering my textbooks with colorful papers. The one thing I never really thought about decorating were my notebooks. Honestly I’m so surprised I never thought…
