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 had so much fun making Picasso inspired Frankensteins with my son’s 1st grade class. I was inspired to to try this project after seeing this wonderful post about a Picasso monster project. With the help of one other parent, I was able to help 27 children complete this Halloween kids craft in an hour.
I’ve come to the conclusion that you can pretty much make anything cute just by adding a kawaii face to it. These kawaii pumpkin mason jars are incredibly easy to make and are a perfect fall craft. If you’ve never seen my projects before than you probably have no idea how much I adore painting…
This sugar skull craft is a great way to help celebrate Dia de los Muertos or Day of the Dead. I’ve done sugar skull makes before but with dimensional puffy paint. This time I wanted to do a more traditional sugar skull rock painting design and used paint pens. This design was inspired by these…
I love looking for fun ways to dye Easter eggs. And it’s always a plus when you find another use for art supplies that you already have on hand. After recently using my Tombow Dual Tip Brush pens to create some pretty watercolor backgrounds for my mandalas, I thought that the same technique might also…
Once you learn how to make these easy pressed flower bookmarks you’ll want to make them as gifts for all of your friends and family. This simple craft is perfect for all ages from kids to adults and the best part is that you don’t even have to press your own flowers. I found all…
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…
