There are a growing number of children’s cameras available, but when it comes to quality two particular models stand out over the rest. For toddlers and preschoolers, consider the Fisher-Price Kid Tough camera. The main positive of this product is that it is extremely robust - your child can repeatedly drop it or spill their cups of juice over it and the camera is unlikely to come to any harm. It is also simpler for a child to use than a non-child specific camera. The functions are very basic so a three year old, or even a bright two year old, can use their camera without much guidance from mum and dad. The two-eye viewfinders at the top and the side handles, as well as the satisfactory chunky feel add to the ease of use for a young child.
For a slightly older child, consider a product such as the Lego digital camera instead. By far the biggest selling point for this camera is its fun look - it appears to be constructed entirely from Lego. The camera is actually just moulded that way and cannot be deconstructed, but it is designed so that your child can add their own Lego pieces to the top or bottom of the camera. For instance, if your child was to build a tall Lego robot the camera coul be incorporated into the design! At 3 mega pixels, the camera also gives superior quality photos to other kid’s cameras currently available.
