Philately

Philately is like collecting stickers, but instead of stickers, you collect postage stamps! You know how when you send a letter, you put a little sticky square on it with a picture and some words? Those are called stamps. People who like philately like to collect stamps from all over the world!

Some people like to collect stamps that are very rare or that have a special design. Some people like to collect stamps that were used a long time ago, or that were used in a specific event or historic moment.

Collecting stamps can be a fun hobby because you get to learn about different countries and cultures, and you can see lots of pretty pictures on the stamps. Some people even trade or sell their stamps with other collectors around the world!
