Netherland children's stamps - with dandelions

 

I have a this lovely set of stamps in the Dandelion Archive. They are Dutch with the title Voor Het Kind - For the Child, dated from 1940 and designed by D van Gelder. 

The Children's stamps started in the Netherlands in 1924 and have been issued ever since (apart from 1942 - 1944 due to the Second World War). 

This set shows a young girl with a doll holding a dandelion clock collected from a plant by her knees. Sweet.
