How To Modify This Craft For Younger Children

If your little one is a bit too young for scissors, then you can use foam stickers. It’ll be a bit easier. You can also put a small dowel rod through the toilet paper roll so they can roll it a little easier.

Our Experience With This Foam Stamp Craft

We had fun with this craft. Messy crafts are a big hit in my house. And so anything that involves paint is always received well. I actually came up with this craft while at the craft store. I saw a stamp set and thought it looked cute, until I saw the price. Obviously it was a professional set, but I remember cute stamp sets as a kid and how much I liked them.

So, I wanted my kids to also be able to experience stamping fun. And they did. We made gift bags, we made art, and they may have also stamped their arms. It is what it is sometimes.

That being said, make sure you put them in clothes you don’t mind getting paint on or have paint smocks or aprons on hand. We have some old oversized shirts we use. But, I hope your family has as much fun as mine did with this craft!
