Pokemon Badge Stamps

I just thought I'd share a fun little stocking stuffer I made for L, who's still into all things Pokemon.

Hand carved Pokemon badge stamps.
I actually omitted a few of the more complicated designs, and I'm sure I'll hear about it later. LOL. What can I say, my arm got tired.

I think he'll like them anyhow.

  1. I love this idea. I wish it were safe enough for the kids to do themselves--mine would love that. What did you make these out of? I read where you got the kit, but what are the actual stamps made from?

  2. These are actually made out of erasers from the Dollar Tree. (Much cheapers than carving blocks, and they work sufficiently well for something this simple. They come 5 or 6 to a pack.) The erasers were thick and sturdy enough that they didn't need to be backed with wood or plastic.
    I've managed to nick myself several times carving stamps, so I'm not sure the kiddos could manage it, but you could have them draw the image, and let you carve it...

  3. Argh. Awesome typo in the previous comment. "Cheapers" should have been "cheaper." ;)
