FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 8, 2011 -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - April 08, 2011 - Boscastle Supplies, (www.boscastlesupplies.com) is one of North America's leading online stores for stamp collecting and coin collecting supplies and accessories, and is pleased to announce that they now provide a Stamp Collecting Starter Kit especially created for juniors.

Several of these Boscastle Supplies Junior Stamp Collecting Starter Kits have been donated to the Youth Table at the Spring National Postage Stamp Show, Toronto, April 8, to April 10, 2011. The kits will be given out to random kids who arrive at the Youth Table during the show.

Starting to collect stamps is an easy, inexpensive and enjoyable hobby. And with the Boscastle Supplies Junior Stamp Collecting Starter kit, any child can start a stamp collection and turn it into a life-time hobby.

“Parents and grandparents are always looking for new ways to energize their kids about reading, writing and learning,” said Susan Peters, Owner, Boscastle Supplies. "But they ask how do I get kids to start stamp collecting? What materials do they need? And where can they buy them?" So purchasing a ready to go stamp collecting starter kit is the perfect answer.”

The Boscastle Supplies Stamp Collecting Starter Kit comes complete with all the materials necessary to get easily started in the hobby. The kit contains:

• A quality stamp album stockbook that doesn’t require stamp hinges or mounts to stick the stamps in. These are perfect for kids as it will allow them to rearrange the stamps on pages according to size, country or theme

• A hand held magnifying glass that will be useful for examining stamps close up

• A pair of junior sized stamp tongs, for carefully handling the stamps

• A perforation gauge to learn how to measure the perforations on the side of the stamp

• 6 glassine envelopes for storing swaps, duplicates, doubles or spare stamps

• And, a safe and secure plastic storage case with zipper to keep all the stamp collecting supplies together.

Susan Peters added "We gave a few of our kits to the National Stamp Show organizers to pass on to a random selection of kids at the Youth Table at the Toronto Show because we believe any way to get kids hooked to stamp collecting at an early stage is a good thing."
