could these be used by elementary aged children to do thumbprints?

Yes, they are perfect for that. The pad is very hard so the finger rolls on it nicely. You might have to stamp it twice since the first time around, you might have too much ink on. Test it first. Also, it does stain everything, but does come off the finger after couple/few/dozen of washes. :)

My 6 and 8 year old loved these...like the other respondent said, it depends on your 12 year old. I have a 12 year old niece whom is quite crafty and would enjoy this type of project.

Yes...A 2 year old could use this.....in fact, we bought these for a 4 and 6 year old girls and their 2 yr old brother uses it also.

Probably, but I think you might be happier with a different ( better constructed) stamp. I use these with my 4 year old grandson. I would use a different product if I were doing serious art.

We used them for our VBS with grade school kids. The worked great! We will definitely use them again. You will probably want to make layer cakes with them as they are not too deep.

I would think these stamps are for any age. I am using them with eleven year olds.

I didn't use them to print out on. Never thought of it. I would think so, they are sturdy but pliable. Hope this helps.

Yes. I used mine personally at home but I have seen them used for classroom birthdays.

I think so. The basic tracing might be boring but there are ways to use it to make flip books which are still too hard for my 6 year old. If your child would enjoy tracing things and then coloring them in, then it would still be good.

Maybe. They are very small and sand flows through them, but finger paint might be too thick and clog them. Sorry that I can't say for sure

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend them for that purpose, even for third graders. They just don't have a whole lot of tensile strength. Plus the edges are honestly kind of thin and sharp, not exactly what you want around kids. :)

I'm not sure how big a one year olds hand/ foot prints are, but the frame fits 4x6" prints, so the openings are slightly smaller. To check, you could check their hand size against a photo that you have that is 4x6". If there is about 1/4" left over, you'll probably be good.We had a hard time with ink, so we scanned in our daughters hand/foot and inverted the image to make it look like an inkprint. Looks great!

Yes, my 4 year old niece can use them and her brother who is 6. they are worth the money.

They are big enough I would say yes, just make sure they don't nibble on them. They are good for starting out drawing or writing because they are easy to hold.

You can use a sharpie on them but if they are handled by kids, the moisture on their hands will start to transfer the ink to their hands too. This plastic is smooth and not porous which would hold the ink for an extended time. A laminated sticker (ink surface sealed) with your Letter or Number on it would hold longer and would look better over time.

My kids used both these and the papermates and prefer the yellow papermates. But..Yes These require minimal dexterity.

I do not think so. My grandchildren loved them always making new things with them. They are age 9 and 7.
