Ways To Play

• Ask the child to identify the picture on each stamp.

• Divide a piece of paper into three sections and label them: water, ground, sky (or any categories you choose). Ask the child to stamp each image in the section where it belongs.

• Stamp a column of images. Beside each object, write its name--but leave one or more letter places blank. (Omit just the first letter for younger children.) Help your child identify the missing letter(s).

• Provide a blank piece of paper and encourage the child to fill it with a fantasy garden scene. Then ask the child to tell you a story about what might happen there!
