I found stamps from several countries that met the theme this week.
 |
| Dubai - Children's Day - 1968 |
And the Year of the Child:
 |
| Ecuador - 1979 |
For toys I found a Teddy Bear
 |
| Sweden - 1978 |
And then one of my daughter's favourite bears all the way from Peru.
 |
| Great Britain - Paddington, 10 Jan 2006 |
"More About Paddington" by Michael Bond with Peggy Fortnum's illustrations was first published in 1959.
These four stamps were what I originally meant to post until I found this presentation pack of mint stamps on my favourite market stall.
 |
| Great Britain - 16 May 1989 |
The stamps depict from left to right;
- 19p - Toy aeroplane and train
- 27p - Building bricks
- 32p - Board games
- 35p - Toys
The information card is a gem in itself covering the history of toys. The pack also contained a second set of the stamps and a Stamp Card for each one, like this;

Wonderful choices. I hadn't seen the Swedish teddy bear stamp, that's very nice. I remember the presentation pack of toys set. Paddington I missed getting any of those, I used to buy presentation packs, then found it became too expensive.
Wow, I love ALL the stamps you posted. A great selection!
I'm surprised that Dubai issued a stamp with a Goya's pictures for children's day.
I like the primary colours of the stamp set. Good find. Its a pity Royal Mail don't issue only four stamps in a set any more. I've not seen the Goya painting before, love that dog.
Thanks, Bob, for introducing me to a new blog prompt in Sunday Stamps I haven't looked at my stamp collection for years, so time to go up in the loft to find it. I had moved on to thematics., so this prompt appeals to me.
These are delightful!!
Quite interesting stamps. The Royal set is something I have never seen before. Very colorful :)
I have a the Paddington stamp, it was sent to me by Michael Bond's daughter who is a friend of mine. I love the Dubai stamp, it is quite surprising. The Swedish teddy is cute too.
MB recently had a statue dedicated to himself.
My maternal grandfather used to say, every day is children's day! A great selection from you today. Thank you for participating.
I tried to get the PHQ stamp cards of that Toys and Games set, but failed - so far.
That games and toys set is very nice, but I am particularly drawn to Teddy and Paddington!
I specially like the Paddington stamp, Bob! Thank you for your comment on my Bullfinches!
Thanks admin for sharing this wonderful post.
