Funfax

Funfax were Filofax organisers aimed at children or teenagers. 

They were published by Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd as late as 1998. 

Although I found a listing for them on Amazon UK they haven't been available for many years. 

I'm told they sometimes come up for sale on Ebay and other similar sites, but at inflated prices these days. 

I can remember when my son was at school he had a Funfax although I really don't know what happened to it. 

If you were to put together an organiser for a teenager or younger child what sort of inserts would you put in it? I'm more than happy to host any files here on Philofaxy for people to download and use on a non-commercial use basis. 

Filofax for Children?

Children in my experience are great imitators, they love to be doing the same as Mummy or Daddy. I'm sure we can all remember dressing up in shoes that were miles too big for us, or having our own gardening tools and trying to help weed the garden.

You might also remember books that you had as a child. I can remember the 'I-Spy' series of books, which always seemed to have a slightly 'sinister' side to them. My son I recall had a 'FunFax' organiser which had 'interesting' facts in it, puzzles and other activities in it as well as a diary.

So do any of your children copy you and have their own organisers yet? I'm sure we would love to hear about what they do with their 'organisers' Of course it would be another way of putting in to use some of your under used Filofax organisers.

Could we have a 'Young Readers' section on Philofaxy including their own printable templates? 

No harm in starting them young... as they say!!
