After she did the coins she went to rocks then stamps on our mail. I can't explain how proud I feel that she has taken even a small interest in a hobby, especially coins. I went out and bought her a magnafying glass of her own and gave her a small bag of wheats. She loves it. I hope the interest lasts. Report this Post to the Staff

Coins and stamps are great teaching tools for history, math and science. Pick her up her own wheatie album, and shoot the lock off the wallet, not the one she has to pound them in with a hammer. otherwise you might get a carpenter not a coin collector.

omahaorange Valued Member United States 294 Posts	Posted 08/08/2011 06:52 am My 3 y/o granddaughter loves to do this with me. It's funny to watch her. She will hold the loupe to one eye, and hold the coin to the other. but she's very good about "helping" papap look at money. I have stuff set aside for when she's older, and actually appreciates what I'm doing. For now, it's a cool and fun way to be with papap. Report this Post to the Staff

At that age that too could really make them interested since they can actually play with them and learn at the same time. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 195203 Posts	Posted 08/08/2011 2:54 pm Awesome! Mon has started to ~~collect~~ hoard my discarded Zincolns. I keep finding them tucked inside various toys. Anything with a lid or compartment has a handful of Lincoln cents in it.
