Collection Suggestions

By Mimi Slawoff

In addition to the classics – coins, dolls, stamps, trading cards, shells and rocks – the field of collecting is bountiful. My family has found that collecting is also a great way to enhance a vacation. We enjoy sending postcards home from our family trips. This way, we have a global collection of postcards, as well as stamps.

Here are but a few collection possibilities your children might want to consider:

• Bookmarks

• Buttons

• Candles

• Comic books

• Dolls

• Feathers

• Gel pens

• Hats

• Jewelry

• Key chains

• Lunch boxes

• Playing cards

• Postcards

• Snow globes

• Thimbles

• Trains
