Product Review: Personalized Stamps from Three Designing Women

by

handmade

Even if you don’t consider yourself much of a stamper, Three Designing Women’s personalized stamps are a must-have for any crafty gal. These handy stamps are super easy to use and can be personalized with your name, address, and whatever other details you want. The “Handmade for You” design featured above is perfect for adding a personal touch to your cards, homemade gifts, and any DIY party favors.

Speaking of parties, Three Designing women stamps feature a revolutionary removable plate. This means you can use several different stamp designs with just one base. Check out the “Let’s Party” invitation I made below, using my Three Designing Women stamp and a few supplies from the dollar section at Michaels. I can’t wait till Christmas so I can use one of their holiday stamps to make my cards and gift tags! (There are also several cute baby themed stamps, if you are planning any baby-related projects in the near future.)

By default, your all-in-one stamp base comes with black ink. However, if you’re looking for a little more color, you can buy ink pads that can be changed out just as you swap out the removable plates to change your stamp design. If your main complaint about stamping is that it’s just too messy, this is the system for you! (It’s also a great choice if you have a small craft room, since this system takes up less space than traditional wood-mounted rubber stamps and standalone ink pads.)

Visit Three Designing Women to review the full selection of stamp designs. To find out where to purchase, you’ll need to check out the store locator section of the site.

Hanukkah Unit Studies for Kids

Learning about Hanukkah is important for people of all faiths as a reminder that December isn’t just about Christmas and that their are many other important holidays that happen during this time. Hanukkah unit studies can give you ideas for incorporating the holiday into your holiday studies that happen in December, or to use at home for learning about people of different faiths.

Homeschool Superfreak has a lot of basic ideas for how to build a Hanukkah unit study, as well as FAQs about what Hanukkah is and why it is celebrated. This list is a good stargint point but doesn’t include all the details you’ll need. For example it says you can play the dreidel game but doesn’t explain how to do that or why it’s important. (If you need that information, this post from Mama Smiles is a good source.)

Teachers Pay Teachers has lots of great lesson plans and activities if you’re willing to pay a little bit to get some good content. Two I really like are this Hanukkah PowerPoint presentation from Shelia Melton, which provides a good overview of traditions, food and the history of Hanukkah; and a virtual field trip to Jerusalem from MagiCore, which includes lots of videos showing the city and activities like playing dreidel, drawing a menorah and making latkes. It’s a Google Drive folder and also includes writing activities and more for kids in second to fifth grade.

Kids Activities Blog has some simple printables with facts about Hanukkah and things kids can color in like a Star of David, sufganiyots (jelly doughnuts) and a menorah. These are great for learning the basics.

Homeschool Giveaways has a printable ebook about Hanukkah complete with questions kids can answer after they read. This would be a good one for older kids with good reading comprehension.

NurtureStore’s Hanukkah unit study includes a printable mini book, tons of crafts, as well as math and writing activities. I love the dominoes game that’s part of the unit.
