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;

| Royal Mail Stamp Postcard |
