Snoopy Mini Stamp – Kodomo no Kao Self-Inking Stamp
Snoopy Mini Stamp – Kodomo no Kao Self-Inking Stamp
A Snoopy mini stamp from Kodomo no Kao, the Japanese maker that has been building self-inking stamps for schools, offices and stationery shops for decades. You press it once and the Snoopy face inside the yellow holder inks itself — no ink pad, no clean-up, no loose parts to lose. The imprint is small enough for a planner square but detailed enough to read at a glance.
How a self-inking stamp works
The stamp face rests against the ink pad inside the body when the cap is on. When you push the stamp down, the face flips, presses the paper and springs back onto the pad. That is why the whole thing is one sealed unit: the pad lives inside the body, so the ink cannot dry out on your desk and your hands stay clean. Kodomo no Kao lists roughly 500 impressions per ink load for its self-inking stamp line; we have not found a separate figure published for this 2204 series, so treat that as an estimate rather than a promise. The body can be refilled instead of replaced.
The three designs
Seal 済 — Snoopy holds a flag that reads 済 (sugita, meaning settled or handled). This is the stamp Japanese offices use to mark a document as checked, and it works just as well on a page you have finished revising.
Nice いいね — Snoopy hugging Woodstock under the words いいね (ii ne, meaning nice or I like it). The warmest of the three, and the one that lands in journals and letters.
Good GOOD — Snoopy mid-swing with a tennis racket under a red GOOD. Built for marking a good day, a finished page or a run of small wins.
Where a stamp like this fits
Teachers and tutors mark work with it; students use it as the reward line at the bottom of a page; journal keepers stamp the days they want to remember; small shops stamp thank-you cards and packing slips. Because the imprint is about the size of a postage stamp, it sits comfortably in a monthly calendar grid or beside a line of handwriting without crowding the page.

A note on availability
Kodomo no Kao no longer lists the 2204 series in its current catalogue, and the stamps we ship come from the stock that Japanese retailers still hold. Once those are gone this design is unlikely to return, so the stock shown here is what we actually have on the shelf.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a Kodomo no Kao Snoopy mini stamp?
A: A small self-inking stamp made in Japan by Kodomo no Kao under licence from Peanuts. The Snoopy character is moulded into the stamp face, so a single press of the holder prints the design without any separate ink pad.
Q: Do I need to buy an ink pad with it?
A: No. The ink pad sits inside the body, and the stamp inks itself every time you press it. Keep the cap on when the stamp is not in use and the ink will stay usable for a long time.
Q: How big is the stamped image?
A: The design measures about 22mm square (22 × 22mm). The whole stamp body is roughly 37mm tall and weighs about 8g, which is small enough to keep in a pen case.
Q: What colour is the ink?
A: Pink. Kodomo no Kao uses a pigment-based oil ink in this series, so the impression is a soft rose pink rather than a bright magenta.
Q: Which Snoopy designs can I choose?
A: Three: Seal 済 (Snoopy with a flag reading 済), Nice いいね (Snoopy hugging Woodstock) and Good GOOD (Snoopy with a tennis racket). Each is a separate stamp, not a set.
Q: Is this series still in production?
A: The 2204 series has left the maker's current catalogue. Kodomo no Kao's present Snoopy line uses different body sizes and colours, so the yellow mini stamps you see here are the remaining retail stock.
