Board: Stamp Carving and Mounting

I'm sure this has been thought of, done, and discussed before, but the idea is new to me. We were sitting at the table tonight playing a board game and I was using my son's new christmas pencil. It had this cute little snowman eraser on it,
sort of like these:

It dawned on me that it would make a cute stamp, and it's carvable....so the next thing I hear is, "Mom, you are cutting up my new eraser!!" I couldn't help myself. I told him I'd go buy him a new one tomorrow, while I'm buying several to carve up! Actually, I think I'll let the kids carve them. All they'll have to do is carve around the existing design on the eraser. The thing held ink very well, and made a very nice image. Perfect for kids.

In our dollar store they sell a package of 6 half-dollar size irregularly shaped (tinkerbell!) erasers in the home/school/office section. These carve great! they are an odd shape, but I am sure everyone can think of an image that would work in the space! LOL they work and at only six for $1!
