| About our Life Cycle Stamps |
| Teach: |
| A set of life cycle stamps can be used over and over again! Make a set for each bug you're learning about! Older children can make their own very easily, and use them to decorate research paper and to make visual examples on presentations. |
| Materials: Craft Foam Scrap Wood Glue Scissors Pencil Ink |
| Step 1: Start by designing your stamp on the craft foam. Use your pencil and press hard . |
| Step 2: Make sure that your pressing into the foam so that it stays indented. |
| Step 3: Once drawn, cut out all of your life cycle shapes |
| Step 4: Glue your shapes onto the backs of a piece of scrap wood. You can also use a wooden cube, an empty milk carton, yogurt cup or anything that has a flat surface and can take a bit of pressure. |
| Step 5: Allow your stamps to dry before using. |
| Step 7: Stamp your image onto paper too see how it turned out! |
| Step 8: Align your stamps in a circle for your life cycle and draw arrows showing which step is next! |
| We love our Melissa & Doug Washable Stamp Pad! |
| Step 6: Then you want to ink up your stamp really good. It takes a bit of pressure to get the ink onto the foam. |
| All Done! Now you've got a great set of Life Cycle Stampers! Hint: Use a diaper wipe to wash off the stamp in between colors. |
