When Dave and I decided to get Addie her own camera for Christmas last year, we didn’t know what to expect. Getting a child at electronic can be such a hit or miss in these times of toys and stuff and more. But the Kidizoom Camera has in no way disappointed.
Addie takes pictures everywhere we go, and some of my favorites are things from her direct point-of-view:
My very favorite is of the girls feet. Addie caught it when she and her sister were laughing, legs intertwined. Their nails polished the same color.
As a mother, seeing my child’s world, literally, is an insight that my own mother didn’t see often. I get to her eye level- see her baby sister closer, see her daddy when he’s not paying attention… I love seeing these things- getting this insight. I imagine that there are some gifts that Addie won’t fall in love with like this, but seeing her joy that this camera has brought her, the pride I take in her beautiful art, and a slice of her world is priceless.
What’s a gift that you’ve given someone that has meant so much more than you thought?

It’s fun to see things from their perspective sometimes. I love the pics she takes 🙂

I donated blood to a child in the hospital that I was volunteering in. It ended up saving his life, and meant much more to him and his family than it did to me! I have tons of blood, and will ALWAYS donate it! It was one of the greatest gift I could ever give and was so appreciated!

You just gave me the best gift idea ever for my four year old. He loves to take pictures but isn’t too interested when I take pictures of him so maybe getting him his own camera will help!

I don’t have a great answer to your question. My children love to take pictures using my camera.

It’s a rewarding feeling to see your child value and make use of a gift you bought in such a creative way. I hope she keeps using her camera, she’s a natural.
Chelley @ A is for Adelaide says
Awe, I totally agree. Thank you!

Very cute. Years ago I had a Camp Fire Girls group and I bought them each a disposable camera–it was hilarious to see their pictures!

The pics your daughter took are so lovely. She has talent for photography! To answer your question, I have a homeless man a hot dinner one Christmas eve two years ago. He just looked up and said “thank you” in a tone that was so heartfelt and sincere. It moved me to tears!

So adorable! It’s amazing what they’ll capture. We got my son a camera a little Fisher Price digital last Christmas and he’s obsessed with snapping candids all day long.

It’s always fun to see what they do with a camera. I gave my 5 yr old my old iPhone, so that it works like an iPod. I love to see the videos and pictures she makes.
