Intro
Use stampers to create your dream park! Children will use their imaginations to think of
their perfect park, then use stampers and other collage materials to bring that vision to
life. You may follow this activity up with your own trip to the park!

Set Up Ideas
Have a variety of drawing materials, stamp pads and collage materials around so that the
kids can create whatever play-scape they can dream up.

Let’s Get Started
To make your dream park, our Jumbo Park Stamp Pad set provides a variety of terrific
stampers with the right shapes! You'll also need jumbo stamp pads, 12"x18" construction
paper and glue. You may also wish to use natural sand, shredded tissue, crayons and more collage materials.

Tips and Tricks
Our park stampers are perfect for this activity, but children may expand their creativity by
using all sorts of stampers. Their perfect parks may include jungle animals or floating
letters in the sky!

Follow up Activity
Take a field trip to the park and see which objects the children added to their artworks are
at the park. Which ones are not?

This is a great activity to talk about your local parks and the children's preferences.
Prompt an extensive conversation by asking about the children's favorite activities and
objects at the park. Do they visit the park with friends, family members or pets?

Steps:

1. This is an open-ended activity with no specific steps that need to be completed. Below are
   some ideas and suggestions for this activity.
2. Ask the kids to imagine a park that they would want to play in. Have them consider what
   playground equipment, plants and animals might be there.
3. Help the children find the stampers, stamp pads and any other material they may wish to
   use in creating their parks.
4. After the children have completed their parks, discuss what they placed in their park and
   what materials they used to create their perfect park setting.
