This set of five semi-postal stamps was issued for the annual summer charity fund. The designs, created by Dick Elffers, feature stylized depictions of children's toys, including a rocking horse, a doll, a toy car, a spinning top, and building blocks. The surtax on each stamp went towards supporting cultural and social work for children.
Issued during a period of post-war prosperity in the Netherlands, these annual charity stamps were a popular way for the public to contribute to social causes through the postal system.
