Take A Trip To The Zoo With An Animal Rubber Stamp


No need to take those long strolls through the zoo with your whining, tiresome toddler. You can easily take a trip to the zoo without leaving your home. All you need is some paper, some animal sounds, and a few animal rubber stamps and you are in business!


There are several ways that you can visit the zoo in your home. If you are only wishing to teach your toddler some basic animals, all you need are some blank index cards (the ones without the lines) and an animal rubber stamp for each animal you want to teach your child. Stamp the animals on the cards, add your own animal sounds, and give your child a little bit of information about the animal.


If you want to take things a step further you can visit the zoo the same way that you would if you actually went to the zoo—by section. Using poster board, create a habitat such as a lion’s den, a snake pit, or the bird walk. Use an animal rubber stamp for each animal you would typically see in that area of the zoo. Add your own sounds and let your imagination and that of your child fly free!


Sometimes we feel like we live in a zoo when we have toddlers in the home. Why not really live in a zoo? Use animal rubber stamps to decorate your child’s walls, dressers, toy boxes, and beds.


If your child really likes animals, you can take a trip to the zoo as a part of their birthday presents and party. Use an animal rubber stamp for each of your child’s favorite animals. Stamp their birthday present wrapping paper, their birthday banner, their door prizes, their birthday card, their birthday invitations, and their streamers with the colorful animals. This will delight both your child and all of your child’s friends that attend the party.


If you take a real trip to the zoo you can use an animal rubber stamp to liven up your photographs. Create scrap book pages, borders for pictures, or create your own picture frames using the animals most loved by your family that were seen at the zoo. You can also use these stamps to depict moods or add humor to scrap booking pages or photo albums. If someone is acting silly, for example, use a monkey rubber stamp next to their picture!
