Introduction

Even though this is the KidsZone Website it's not only just for kids. Here we will try to provide information for anyone who is just getting started in pin collecting. Ways to conduct trades, warning signs to look for, how to get free pins (or almost free, it might cost you the price of a stamp), links to sites with great information on pin collecting but mostly it is here just to have fun.
        Pin collecting/trading is more than just about pins. It is a great way to meet people and make new friends. Each pin has it's only little story and history behind it and you will find some great stories to be told by fellow collectors.  So enough rattling on lets say we get started.

The KidsZone Free Grab Bag

For the kids only a free grab bag of starter pins. To help you kids get started in pin collecting we are offer a free bag of great starter pins. So how do you get the free pins? It is very simple, all we ask is that you send us a letter telling us a little about yourself, what kinds of pins you like to or want to collect. If you currently are a collector/trader let us know how long you have been collecting. Make sure you enclose your return address with your letter. It's that simple all it will cost you is the time to write a letter and a stamp. P.S. Parents you can help with the letter. We will have to put everyone on the honor system on this one because it is strictly for kids 13 and under and limited to one bag per child. So what's keeping you, start writing.

Obtaining Free Pins

Many companies and organization will send you a free pin(s) by simply writing them a letter. Do a little investigative work and find out what companies are sponsoring sporting events, the Olympic etc. You will be amazed at what you might get for the cost of a postage stamp. National Organizing Committees and Sports Associations are also a good source for pins and information.

This section will expand with more information in the coming days.
