Cons Review
Poor design makes for unsuccessful students . I purchased these for the purpose of teaching letter formation and writing skills. I was a preschool teacher for 3 years, a preschool director for 12 years, and am now an educational arts program director. I only mention this so you understand that I know of what I'm speaking:-) Over the years, I have ordered similar products several times before from school supply companies, and they were well made. They were easy for teachers to use, and children used them with great success.
These, however, are built like party favors. There is a reason they don't show you images of the underside-- it is a shallow plastic cookie cutter frame with a thin sheet of rubber glued inside. The rubber is so thin that the edges of the frame are exposed. The stamp itself (the part that is supposed to mark the paper), is very shallow and flimsy. That means that if you press too hard, the frame of the stamp leaves marks/smudges around the letter-- you can't get a clean letter image. Also, the dots are not clear. Dot-to-dot is no fun if the dots are not clear.
I am very disappointed, mostly because of my expectations based on previous products. This is more of a toy than a learning resource. I should have paid attention to the fact that it was listed in the toy category on Amazon.
If you are not a teacher, and you just want something to give your child that makes letters, this is probably fine. I wouldn't buy this for my child because it is important for children to be successful. I was not successful stamping my name, so I know my child wouldn't be successful either.

Lowercase Stamps . These are a great addition to the Uppercase Alphabet Tracing Stamps. As with the uppercase, it was a bit tricky at first getting the bottom line of each stamp to be in the same spot as the others. Once I figured that out, it was a snap. Easy clean up (I use baby wipes). Nice so you can customize specific words and letters that you want to work with your child on.
Good item for teacher at school . we bought it for our child's teacher at 1st grade as she recommended. Wonderful product to guide children to write letters.
