What is Happy Stamp?
Happy stamp is a simple visual scanning game. Google emojis on your computer. Lots of images will come up. Pick an image with multiple emojis and print it. Emoji stickers are also available on Amazon. Put the stickers on a blank piece of paper or card stock and make copies of it. Then give your child a bingo stamper and ask them to find happy emojis.
What are the Benefits?
Happy stamp improves visual discrimination. Children must be mindful or they may stamp the wrong emotion. It also improves fine motor skills and eye-hand coordination.
