Why do kids tend to collect?

Question

what is it that they like about collecting items?

Answer 1

Maybe when they are older and not collecting anymore, they will look back at those items and remember how fun it was and they will be proud of the things they collected. Also their items will bring back memories as a kid when the person has grown up. I really have no idea because I never collected anything in my life. But I hope this helps you! =]

Answer 2

I'll make it short: they get bored and tend to do whatever they can...its fun collecting i guess...if its really what you want to do
