Travel Icons
The Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal and Statue of Liberty stand among the world landmarks here, with Big Ben, the Colosseum and the Golden Gate Bridge for good measure. Stamp one on a postcard, mark a stop in a trip journal, or fill a bucket-list page with places you hope to see. For everyday gear such as a suitcase or camera, visit Road Trip.
Landmarks for Journals, Lessons and Parties
Landmark stamps turn a page into a place. Europe is well covered by Big Ben, the Colosseum, the Parthenon, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Sagrada Familia, St. Basil's Cathedral and Stonehenge. Further afield are the Great Wall of China, the Taj Mahal, the Sphinx and Pyramids, Christ the Redeemer, the Moai Statues, Mount Rushmore and the Golden Gate Bridge.
Ways to use them
- Bucket-list journals: stamp each landmark in pale ink, then go over it in black once you visit.
- Geography and history lessons: one landmark per country card for matching games.
- Travel-themed weddings and parties: a landmark on each table card instead of a number.
- Kids' travel books: a stamp for each country studied.
Pairing with other stamps
Add an Airplane or Travel Tickets from Road Trip beside each landmark to show how you arrived, and write the date and city underneath in small capitals.
Landmark Stamp Questions
How do I make a travel-themed table plan with landmark stamps?
Give each table a landmark instead of a number. Stamp the landmark on the table card and on each guest's escort card so people match the two easily. Write the city under the stamp, and choose places that matter to you, such as where you met or honeymooned.
Can landmark stamps help with geography homework?
They make useful study cards. Stamp a landmark on one side of an index card and write the city, country and a fact on the back. Kids can sort the cards by continent, quiz each other, or stick them on a world map. Washable ink and adult help keep it tidy.
How do I keep tall landmarks straight on the page?
Draw a light pencil baseline and line up the bottom edge of the stamp with it before pressing. Look at the stamp from the side as you lower it, press straight down without twisting, and lift cleanly. Tall, narrow designs such as the Eiffel Tower show any tilt, so check before inking.
