History of the Stamp Game

"Stamps" can be created by sewing paper to create perforation.




The Stamp Game corresponds directly to the Golden Bead material, but is more abstract.

Dr. Maria Montessori originally created the stamp game using postage stamps. She would often create materials based on what the children were interested in. Collecting stamps was popular at the time.
Below are some of the various ways of making homemade stamps for the stamp game. 
Another idea is to use foam. 
The Thousands and Units should be green, the Hundreds are red, and the Tens are blue.
A set should contain... 
For static operations: 9 of each
For dynamic operations: 30 of each
