CHILDREN'S MAIL

The "Children's Mail" is a game that enables children to learn how to write letters, postcards and postal instructions, the task of the post and the transport to the recipient in a playful way.
For this purpose, since this game still exists today, there were and are not only letterheads, envelopes, children's postcards, postal orders, and postage stamps, but also stamps, stamp pads and other utensils useful for the game.
The stamps and stamps included in the postal stationery, mostly based on a long series of the individual production times, intentionally deviate greatly from the originals in size, perforation and possibly the inscription.

In the game, letters and postcards could be written, franked with the children's postage stamps included, and posted at a post office counter.
The local "child postal officer" then received the mail and "processed" it.
The stamping, filling in of forms (e.g. postal orders) and further processing already required a certain knowledge of the processes at the post office, which becomes clear when dealing with the children's postal mail order.
The children's postage stamps included in the game were used for franking.

Kinder Post also was in existence in Germany in the 1930's
The stamps looked like miniature Hindenburg stamps

We had some Kinderpost stampa in stock that were from pre-WWI. They were very similar to the design of the pre-Germania stamps of Germany.
