DIY: Hand Carved Eraser Stamps

I don’t remember when the last time I used pink erasers was but it turns out they have many more uses than arithmetic mistakes. Henry and I had fun with this little activity last week. I carved out a couple shapes in a few old school pink erasers and Henry stamped away with a washable rainbow ink pad (best invention ever- I use it all the time).
I thought letters and numbers would be cute for little gift tags (shown above).

Due to my inability to carve out a decent circle, this balloon one I attempted when stamped looked just like little- ahem– a little swimmer (as pointed out lovingly by my husband). I can still think of some useful things for this swimmers stamp: baby shower? gender announcement? sex ed talk with your kids as an alternative to the ‘where i came from’ book from the library?

I've done these before with great success. Thanks for reminding me (I'd completely forgotten about this art).
