Unhappy instruction-less stamp kit

Can any stampers help my daughter? She got a stamp kit for Christmas and was goofing around with it the other day. It has an idea book, but no instructions regarding the contents of the kit! The kit includes "large stamp sheet and 1 stamping block". I believe that these work together because they were on the same line on the kit's "ingredient list". How do we use them?
They look like this:

Thanks!

I dont usually use these but I think you just attach the clear stamps to the block, ink and go

She loves "crafty crap" (as her dad calls it!) So do I... it keeps her busy, quiet and out of my hair! Just don't tell her I said that!

I peeked briefly at mamaslittlemonkeys' link. It sounds like the block can be used by all the stamps. (???) I haven't gotten her stuff back out to see. Does it stick to the block like a window cling? We'll probably have time to fool with it tomorrow.

I do believe you can use the blocks on all clear stamps. I think you remove them, wash and they stick back on every time.

The flat, smooth part of the stamp sticks to the acrylic block. Yep, it's a lot like a window cling.

Press it down on the ink pad.

She'll need to be careful to only ink the rubber stamp because if she gets ink on the block, it'll transfer to the paper and ruin the picture.

When she's done stamping, just wipe the ink off the stamp with a baby wipe or a damp paper towel. Since there's no foam on the back of the stamp, she can even run the stamp under water to wash it off.

If she wants to use more than one color on the stamp, she can use regular markers (not Sharpie's) to color the image however she wants. Before she stamps the image on the paper, have her hold the block/stamp up near her mouth and huff on it. Kind of like people do when they're cleaning their eye glasses. That will re-moisten the ink.

If the ink stains the stamp, try washing it off with a little bit of rubbing alcohol on a cloth.

Barb, that was a great tutorial
I showed it to my daughter and she is the one who clicked the "thanks" button. (I just get the credit )
Thanks to everyone for the tips! I think I know what she is going to do today (besides plot and plan a way to get a pet turtle -we saw little turtles for sale yesterday and she has wanted one since forever)
