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?
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...

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