How to initiate the young people with philately?

Philately impassions million followers in France and in the world. Synonym of discovery, it has the advantage of being accessible to all. If this leisure suffers sometimes from prejudices, it still has beautiful days in front of him. How can we initiate young people with philately? Here some ideas which will not fail to allure them!
In a preceding article we evoked a pack discovered of philately available in our shop.

Philately in the form of plays

Do you like philately and wish to make known this leisure with your friends, your children or your grandchildren? The play is an excellent way to learn all while having fun. If the child or the young person is impassioned by Rugby and that you have stamps devoted to this sport, you can make him guess the name of the players who are represented.

This play is also valid for the historical writers, characters, the characters of cartoons, the explorers or the painters. If the young person loves the animals, do not hesitate to make him guess the races of dogs, cats or horses illustrated over your stamps. In the same time, you can guess together the year of emission of the stamp.

A topic of collection which interests

The world of philately being vast, it is impossible to collect all the stamps. Consequently, the choice of the set of themes is paramount. This one must above all impassion the young collector to justify it to seek new stamps. The advantage is that the topics are declined ad infinitum: there is for all the tastes.

For example, if the child or the young person is impassioned by the Disney universe, you can suggest to him beginning a collection devoted to Mickey, Minnie or all his favorite characters. If this last likes football, it can seek stamps emitted at the time of a competition or representing its preferred player. The same applies to the gymnastics, the water sports or agriculture.

Whatever the field of predilection of the young person, the important one is to follow its desires. However take care not to advise too restricted topics to him: the fact of not finding stamps adequate could quickly discourage it. The basic topic must remain rather broad: it will be always possible to specialize thereafter. Lastly, nothing prohibits to choose several sets of themes!
