Youth Area
Since 1993, for 19 years, my husband and I operated Youth Stamp Collectors, where we worked with Youth and Educators via stamp shows, stamp club meetings and snail-mail throughout the United States and around the world in the Educational Benefits of Stamp Collecting (see more information under About Us). Some of our favorite projects, helpful tips and hints, and other philatelic information will eventually be added to our website.
In the meantime, here are some great items to get youth started in stamp collecting. Patriot Challenge listed below is a great game for family entertainment, or stamp club or classroom education.

v 48 fun stamp activities
v Famous stamp facts

v 200 hinges for attaching stamps to the activity pages
v 2 stock pages for storing special stamps
v Plastic zippered pocket
I have Updated the Reference section. I also include a packet of 100 worldwide or US stamps, and a second packet of topical stamps! If this is your only item ordered, it will be shipped USPS Media Mail (about 10 days' delivery).
