Here is my 16 month old daughter, Lydia....trying to help me cut and mount my stamps! I just got these drawers for stamp set storage and she has found a little ledge to stand up on and reach e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g!!! Yikes!!! :lol:
My 2 year old loves to stamp!! She wanted to help me cut and mount my new order last night and this morning... I had everything still in the box on the kitchen table and while I was in the other room, she climbed up on a chair and unloaded all of the stamp sets, and ONLY the stamp sets and stacked them nicely on the table for us to work on!!
She actually has pretty good stamping technique, as well. She knows, TAP, TAP, TAP, then push... If I set her down with a light colored pad and some scrap paper, she will be content for quite some time.
I checked a stamping technique video out of the library last night and got in bed early to watch it. 5 yo DS wandered in and started watching, mostly as an excuse to get out of his bed.
This was a Colorbox video with a French-accented narrator who was speaking very softly and slowly, with gentle jazz in the background. There would be 4 minutes of demo, then 3 minutes of slow slideshow of samples. I was nodding off, but suddenly Nick exclaimed "COOL" when the demo was going to town with a brayer. I was surprised he was still in the room, but he watched all 45 minutes. Better than Ninja Turtles, I guess.
She is so cute......and I say, Start them young! She must really be a great helper. At that age they don't get into too much trouble, but they can be so much fun.
