The Stamp game is one of my favorites! For an explanation on how to play go here. Also check out this cool post by Making Montessori Ours on how they play the stamp game.
I love how the game reinforces the decimal system and it’s cool to watch my oldest adding, subtracting, and multiplying big numbers. I also think that the stamp game is an activity that can be made by hand…we purchased ours from Kid Advance because I was being lazy.
I love the stamp game too – and I too bought ours because I was being lazy (and because I found a great deal on it and had other materials to make). I know a couple of families who made theirs out of just colored foam sheets, and the skittles and circles from the craft store – stored it all in a tacklebox they just happened to have already.
I love your blog! It shows your enthusiasm so well!
To Jessica: Thanks so much!!
