There are many different kinds of stamps to chose from.

Carving is the most common form of stamp making. A soft wood, rubber eraser, or bottle cork are good for carving.

After choosing a design to carve, draw it on the surface with a fine pencil or pen. Think carefully about which surfaces should be raised and will receive ink for the stamp.

Sharp carving tools helps to prevent injury. You can purchase tools at local craft shops. Never carve toward yourself.

For young children craft foam is easy to cut and when applied to a block, can make a great stamp.

Craft foam can be cut and attached to a normal acrylic stamping block or other solid form using a glue stick or other adhesive. Many simple shapes are ideal for cutting out of craft foam. Some craft suppliers sell ready cut craft shapes which can also be a quick way to make custom foam stamps.
