No, these are some of thebest cameras for kidsthat range from animal-themed digital cameras with a selfie mode to instant cameras that make cute-sized prints.
The pick of the bunch in the UK is probably the VTech Kidizoom Duo 5.0, which was £64.99 and isnow £37.49 at Amazon. It’s great for 3+ year olds. In the US, I can recommend the Camp Snap Camera for slightly older kids – it’s a screen-free digital detox that looks the part, with $10 off andnow $55 at Camp Snap.
