Fun, educational playthings don’t have to cost a lot of money. For instance, Rena from The Cheese Theif came across some large foam letters at Dollar Tree and, using only a little bit of glue and some packaging foam saved from a fate in the landfill, turned them into a set of rubber stamps for her little one. They provided hours of entertainment! It’s a great way to learn about the alphabet and writing for children who have yet to master using pencil, crayons, or markers.

Project estimate:
- Foam letters, $1
- Foam, on hand
- Glue, on hand
Total: $1

LOVE this idea so much I’m going to try it this weekend. My tiny alphabet stamps are too small for my kids’ little hands, so I think these will be just right.

Fun idea! Thanks for sharing! We are trying to introduce the alphabet right now at our house and I know these stamps will be a hit!
