I’ll take a look. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camera-for-5-year-old#post-2881230 Wed, 17 Apr 2019 21:49:53 +0000 MamaCate 2881230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LemonJack: it comes with a rubbery case that seems pretty sturdy. You can see it in some of the later pictures in the link. I didn’t want to get the super babyish cameras and I didn’t want to spend a ton and I had the concerns about the cost of the Polaroid film so this felt like a good compromise. It is Polaroid brand but a plain old digital camera </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camera-for-5-year-old#post-2881224 Wed, 17 Apr 2019 21:35:08 +0000 LemonJack 2881224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaCate: Good idea. I’m not sure I trust DD not to break it though. 😁 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camera-for-5-year-old#post-2881223 Wed, 17 Apr 2019 21:34:24 +0000 LemonJack 2881223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePeony: @graceandjoy: @erinbaderin: Thanks! I think this is my top contender for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camera-for-5-year-old#post-2881222 Wed, 17 Apr 2019 21:33:48 +0000 LemonJack 2881222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mommy Finger: My niece has that camera and I think it’s adorable. Like your son, I think my DD is still too young to understand that she needs to save the film.</p> <p>@cam: I haven’t seen this one, but it looks good. I’ll have to take a look! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camera-for-5-year-old#post-2880095 Tue, 09 Apr 2019 19:36:22 +0000 cam 2880095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got this one for my 4 year old at Christmas and he's been happy with it. The first day he took it to rest time and took like 200 pictures of his room haha. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/VTech-507003-Kidizoom-Action-Cam/dp/B06XSKB4J1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/VTech-507003-Kidizoom-Action-Cam/dp/B06XSKB4J1</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camera-for-5-year-old#post-2880011 Tue, 09 Apr 2019 12:35:49 +0000 erinbaderin 2880011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also have the Kidizoom one, and it's fine for my five year old - yesterday he said it wouldn't take pictures so I checked it out and of the 250 pictures on there, something like 95% of them were of the floor or the ceiling or a random closeup of his hand (or one of his butt, which he insisted I keep). If he had an Instax I'd be bankrupt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camera-for-5-year-old#post-2880008 Tue, 09 Apr 2019 12:30:57 +0000 Mommy Finger 2880008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 got this Polaroid Instax camera for his 6th birthday from his aunt. It's pretty cool in that it's a true polaroid so the pictures are coming out right away. However, the film is super expensive so I wouldn't have bought it for him.</p> <p><a href="https://www.target.com/p/fujifilm-instax-mini-9-camera/-/A-53804280?preselect=52205554#lnk=sametab" rel="nofollow">https://www.target.com/p/fujifilm-instax-mini-9-camera/-/A-53804280?preselect=52205554#lnk=sametab</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camera-for-5-year-old#post-2879954 Tue, 09 Apr 2019 10:08:14 +0000 youboots 2879954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LemonJack: I just bought this on clearance for $80 at Costco. It does not have a retractable lens and is waterproof and shockproof. It’s a gift for my 4 year old from the baby. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-FinePix-Waterproof-Digital-Camera/dp/B0797GG74B" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-FinePix-Waterproof-Digital-Camera/dp/B0797GG74B</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camera-for-5-year-old#post-2879939 Tue, 09 Apr 2019 09:11:14 +0000 graceandjoy 2879939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Second the Kiddiezoom one. Mine is only 4, she's had it for a year and she loves it. While it's a little baby-ish, it's sturdy! It's been dropped so many times and no issues at all. There are also some games on there that she loves. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camera-for-5-year-old#post-2879885 Mon, 08 Apr 2019 23:10:17 +0000 PurplePeony 2879885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is now 5 and has had this VTech Kiddiezoom camera for about 1.5 years: <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/VTech-Kidizoom-Selfie-Camera-Exclusive/dp/B013UQIK2A/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=kid+camera&#038;qid=1554782876&#038;s=gateway&#038;sr=8-3" rel="nofollow">https://smile.amazon.com/VTech-Kidizoom-Selfie-Camera-Exclusive/dp/B013UQIK2A/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=kid+camera&#038;qid=1554782876&#038;s=gateway&#038;sr=8-3</a>. She still really loves it. She’s pretty careful but occasionally drops or bangs it so I’m not about to get her a better one for awhile. It’s got lots of fun features that I wouldn’t consider babyish and though the picture quality isn’t that great, it’s still plenty good for a 5-year-old. I’m thinking we’ll upgrade her in 2ish years.</p> <p>This one looks a little more grown-up and seems to have good reviews: <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/ShinePick-Digital-Camera-Childrens-Silicone/dp/B07KZTLGPZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?keywords=kid+camera&#038;qid=1554782756&#038;s=gateway&#038;sr=8-7" rel="nofollow">https://smile.amazon.com/ShinePick-Digital-Camera-Childrens-Silicone/dp/B07KZTLGPZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?keywords=kid+camera&#038;qid=1554782756&#038;s=gateway&#038;sr=8-7</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/camera-for-5-year-old#post-2879879 Mon, 08 Apr 2019 22:18:42 +0000 MamaCate 2879879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got a Polaroid one from target for my 7 y/o for Christmas.

I’m thinking a real camera would be a fun gift for her birthday, and am looking for suggestions. Some of the ones I’m seeing seem too babyish, but others are too advanced. Suggestions?! </p>
