Top 5 best games with a toy camera

Toy cameras are a great way to introduce children to the world of photography and creativity. But how can you best use these small cameras? Here are some ideas to get the creativity of your children and let them learn in a fun way.

Share toy camera

When you only have one room you can still play a fun game with several people. You can do the room namely perfect sharing.

You can take turns taking a picture to tell a story. The first child chooses a nice location to take a picture and shoots one. The next person views the last picture and takes another one in the story.

At the end you can watch the series of photos together (perhaps on TV if that works with the room) and see if a good story has emerged.

Who takes the best picture?

If you have several toy cameras, you can organize a game night where you divide the cameras among the players. The aim of the game is to take the most beautiful and creative photos. You can choose how much time you want to spend taking the photos and who the winner is. The game is definitely a fun way to use and share your toy camera with friends and family.

Experiment with perspective

A toy camera can offer a new perspective on the world. Let your kids experiment with different angles and perspectives to see what interesting photos they can create. This can help them to... creativity to develop and improve their photographic skills.

For example, play “how big does it look” by placing a small doll close by and a large doll far away and then taking a picture.

Take a photo recipe
