Tree Eraser Stamps

Students - The older I get, the more I realize what makes me happiest. I am happiest when I am making something new. And this craft, described step-by-step in today's poem, is a neat one that you might like to try. It's easy and so rewarding to make stamps from erasers. You can use your stamps to make your own cards or even wrapping paper.
Here's a picture of my stamp-making supplies. You don't need much to make your own stamp.
Today's poem is a poem that teaches how to do something. It's a procedural, or how-to poem. If you wish to write a poem like this one, you might think about something that makes you happiest, or something you would like to teach someone else to do. Then, line-by-line...show your reader how to do this new thing.

What a neat craft! I'm always looking for inexpensive (hello, limited budget!) but still exciting projects to do with students, and this looks like a great way to breathe new life into forgotten erasers!
ReplyDeleteHi Amy! Love your combination of poem and craft and your leap year poem too!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Thanks for the inspiring idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun Amy and pretty too! You are indeed multi-talented.
ReplyDeleteWow is right! That's so cool. Amy, I have a question about a recipe poem.....any tips on how to write one? I have one....but it's just not right yet. I'd love to see what you do with a recipe.
ReplyDeleteYour many talents never cease to amaze me, Amy - that stamp is lovely, as is the poem.
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid my carving skills would not be so refined, but I love your tree stamps and the how-to poem.
ReplyDeleteI have a box of stamps that we get out to do art once in a while, and now I think we'll try this, Amy. It'll be fun!
ReplyDeleteI've never made a stamp before, but I totally want to. :) Yay for crafts and all the things that make you happiest, Amy! Thank you for sharing them with all of us. xo
ReplyDeleteSo clever.
ReplyDeleteOh, Amy, I love this. Love both the poem and the craft. My daughter (the one who wrote about Little Women -- and thanks for your kind comments about her!) would love to create a stamp this way. Always such goodness of all kinds here at your blog.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stamp, Amy! I'm with you about making things -- so satisfying!!
