Kidstamps

And some other stamps!

Hello! One of the things I love to do in my classrooms is use stamps! I’ve been collecting them for over 10 years. It all started when I just wanted a Paddington stamp for my first-graders. I couldn’t find one for many years, but came to adore the company that produced it- Kidstamps! Here is my collection! First, a peek inside a catalogue.

They had so much to offer: stamps, stamp pads, mugs, totes, bookplates, and t-shirts. All celebrate books! I truly wish this company had stayed in business.

Halloween/Spooky Stamps. Viola Swamp is a favorite!
My other all-time favorites. The Paddington walking stamp was what began my journey. I finally found it!
Ah, Peter Rabbit! Beatrix Potter stamps.
Holiday and party stamps in my classroom.
A perfect set for Polar Express day.
Some favorite book characters from school. I do have doubles of some stamps from buying lots on E-Bay over the years.The “Officer Buckle & Gloria” and Paddington stamps are very dear.
Animal characters from my classroom.

The last stamps I was using…

Other Stamps in my collection:

Richard Scarry stamps from Penny Black
All Night Media Pooh and Beatrix Potter
Stampendous Beatrix Potter

Since all of these stamps are discontinued you can find them on E-Bay as they get listed. When I started ten years ago there were very few listings, now there are tons! Unfortunately, prices have gone up. But they are still worth it and make my students so happy! I use “smelly-good” stamps pads to give them even more of a treat. Happy collecting!

    Hi!!! I’m a third grade school teacher searching desperately for Officer Buckle and Gloria stamps to go with the story and a project we are doing. I saw that you had some, but can’t find them on eBay. Are they still available? Fingers crossed for good news!!!

      I am so sorry Amy! Kidstamps has not been in business for at least a decade. The stamps are not available. It was very hard to find the ones I have, not to mention expensive as well! You could try having a custom stamp made by a company. (Search online for custom stamps-they are relatively cheap too!) Or save your E-Bay search so they e-mail you when items are listed. This works very well for lots of people! Officer Buckle is a great story!

        Oh SMH! The last paragraph is written so that it sounds like I am listing these stamps. I am so sorry. I am not listing these. I still use them in my classroom. It was meant to be a general help. Again, sorry for the confusion.
