When I was a kid we could get a cheap printed album, a packet of hinges and a packet of mixed world wide stamps. I have five grandchildren and on their 8th birthdays I would like to give them the equivalent as something other than computer based hobbies. What is the modern equivalent?

re: What is the modern equivalent?

You could check out W H Smith's they stock a range of stamp collecting items and put together a bunch of stamps from your duplicates, maybe thematics to go with the particular child's interests.
Dauwalders of Salisbury do a stamp starter kit which is really just a stock book with a bunch of stamps.
Could not see anything on the Royal Mail site but possibly they do something.

Thanks for the suggestions. If WH Smith's are online that could be the way to go. Four of the kids are Wales and one in Tokyo.
