«Phila & Franco» stamp set for children, IT, 2/23

A little prince, great art and funny vegetables: the themes from the world of stamps covered in this issue are once again varied and fascinating. In a writing exercise, the kids decide for themselves just how dramatic their thriller turns out to be.

Heads up, aspiring writers and up-and-coming authors – the new stamp set for children comes with tips and tricks for writing whodunnits, with Phila and Franco providing the inspiration. When they get home one day, the two of them can hardly believe their eyes. What on Earth has happened here? Talented young writers can continue the story themselves. Pens at the ready, steady, go!

The current issue is dedicated to four new stamp designs: the squeaky rubber duck, the Little Prince, the sweetest baby animals and three curiously shaped potatoes that, when it comes to taste, are still as good as it gets. All four designs are included in the set as stamps valid for postage – and one of them is cancelled. In total, the set includes stamps worth 8.40 francs. Once again, there are also three postcards to colour in.

The stamp set for children is available at postshop.ch and all Swiss Post branches as a single issue for 12 francs or at a discounted rate on subscription at swisspost.ch/stamp-subscriptions.
