PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 24, 2008 – What's the first word children want to print? Their Name.
Teachers will appreciate preschoolers and kindergartners arriving at school well on their way to printing their own name.
Emphasizing early literacy, the Little Stamp Company's Signature stamps are self inking stamps that are personalized in a large dotted font. Youngsters can stamp and trace their name on their own coloring pages, cards and artwork to encourage printing in a fun and interactive way.
Why would parents choose a ‘Signature’
stamp?
Savvy - because it saves parents time (no more ‘dotting’ your child’s name every time by hand).
Sensible - because the self inking stamp creates an easy to use, no mess situation. The eco and child friendly ink is washable, water based, and food grade ink (FDA approved ingredients).
Clever -because kids are having fun, developing early literacy skills and gaining self confidence at the same time.
As Nellie Edge (www.nellieedge.com), an online kindergarten resource site states:
A child’s name is the most important word he or she will ever learn to write. Once the child gains mastery over these letter formations, they will have internalized many handwriting principles and other letters will be easier to form efficiently… learning to automatically control letter forms within a growing number of high frequency (“by heart”) words, frees the child to focus more energy into expressing their ideas in daily ‘kid writing’.
It is this exact early literacy principle that led to the creation of the ‘Signature’ stamp.
There are 3 customized options available because ‘Signature’ stamps are as unique as the kids they are made for. Parents can choose ALL CAPS or Lower case, ink colour (Purple, Blue or Green) and of course, the child’s name. The stamps retail for $24.95 and can be ordered online at www.littlestamp.com.
The ‘Signature’ stamp not only assists parents by being a useful tool but also promotes early literacy in a memorable and unique way.
Company Bio
The Little Stamp Company launched the ‘Signature’ stamp in May 2008. The concept was conceived when Canadian mompreneur, Lee-Ann O’Neill’s daughter was 3 years old. Mackenzie was keen to learn how to spell and print her name. It repeatedly took a long time to ‘dot’ Mackenzie’s name, so she could trace the letters. Dotting her name to practise was a valuable learning process but it was time consuming. As a teacher and parent Lee-Ann thought – why not create a fun stamp? After searching and searching for a suitable stamp the idea of the 'Signature' stamp was born. Now, Mackenzie's younger brother, Kian, is proudly learning to print with his own 'Signature' stamp too.
