Here's a little look as to what goes on during this station that they visit once a week.
This year I finally figured out something that worked to store my stamps in. The cases they come in don't last long. I had seen an idea on Pinterst to use ice cube trays, but I wasn't sure how that would work. And then it came to me, the little baskets I already had would work perfect! Who knew those cheap baskets from Wal-mart would work so wonderfully?! By this time in the year, they can pretty much keep the stamps in ABC order (they know how OCD I am about that!). The stamp pads you see came from Oriental Trading and have lasted all year, which is quite an accomplishment!
Here's a little unit that I use to help differentiate at my stamp station:
And a freebie to go along with it!
Great idea! I have taken the stamps away because they keep spilling them or putting them back wrong and it's driving me bonkers. I'll have to try this!

I just tried the basket this year because all of my cases were cracked and ready for the trash. I like the baskets a LOT better. :)
DeleteOCD here too, and so my stamps have been collecting dust. Love your word work stations!

I only have 2 or 3 kids there at a time and they each have their own basket. That really helps. Last year in 1st I would have 5 there and they had to share. It was a mess!
DeleteLove the idea of the letter stamps all neat inside the basket! I'll have to give that a try and see how long it stays neat!
