Point and Shoot: Digital Photography for the Preschool Set
ages 3-6
Supplies
Digital camera, or phone with camera.
Activity Detail
While waiting for the doctor, toddlers get pretty bored. I found that bringing my digital camera (or phone) in and having my son take pictures of my funny faces, or having him pose with funny faces, helped the time go by more quickly. Short videos of him singing his favorite songs was also a big hit. No more worrying about him spinning out of control on the doctor's stool, or playing with every instrument he could get his hands on.

My child loves seeing pictures of himself, many of our pictures are stored on our camera. When I need to, I turn it on & go through the stored pictures. This also helps pass the time!

Make sure you set your camera to allow at least ten seconds in between pictures so that your child can see the picture before the screen goes blank!

We recieved a new digital camera for the holidays and gave our almost-4-year-old our old one. It is really fun to download the world from her perspective and she actually took better pictures of our Christmas get-together than we did! A kid's digital is on her list for this year.
