Anyone can be a collector. Some people collect bottle caps, others collect stamps, and still others collect rubber stamps of planets. That’s right, rubber stamps that depict the various planets in our solar system. If you are already a stamping addict, this could be a fun new direction for you to pursue in your collecting. Think about it
this way: you will be not only collecting unique and beautiful rubber stamps, but you will also be learning about astronomy. Nothing is more enjoyable than education undertaken simply for the sake of learning.
To pursue this line of reasoning just a bit further, let us look at collecting rubber stamps of planets, and adding rubber stamps from around the world. This is a superlative method of teaching geography and map skills. It is also a very interesting way of learning world history and cultures. Now you have not only collected some wonderful rubber stamps, but you have also learned a great deal about astronomy, the planets in the solar system, and the geography and history of many different countries around the world. Just by collecting rubber stamps of planets and countries, you have incorporated approximately two thirds of a typical public school curriculum.
It is virtually impossible to be a collector of anything and not learn a great deal of the background and history of the particular object that you are collecting – for example, rubber stamps of planets creates a desire to know more of astronomy and why the planets are named as they are. From there it is a small step to knowing the learning all you can about the origin of matter and anything else that may come along with matters astronomical.
Of course, as residents of this charming planet, we have a rich and varied history among the countries and continents of the world. Collecting rubber stamps of planets and countries of the world can give us a unique perspective on history and how it has progressed over the ages. Just as a small example, let us look at a rubber stamp depicting tulips and windmills. This tells is that the stamp is about Holland, or the Low Countries as it is also known. We learn from this about the tulip as a vital component of Holland’s economy, both past and present!
There are millions of other examples of matters historical, cultural and astronomical – so get started today collecting rubber stamps of planets and countries!
