Even two-year-old toddlers love posing in front of the camera! But when they grow up a bit and begin to grab your digital camera or smartphone for snapping photos, it surely means that it’s time to buy them their own camera. Now that some digital cameras are specifically designed for kids, they are available in nominal prices so that you don’t have to think twice before buying one for your child.
Digital cameras are priced as low as kids’ toys or video games. That’s why selecting one according to your child’s age isn’t a problem. However, what matters is how you consider the specific features of each digital camera while finalizing your purchase decision. For instance, just like buying toys for your child, it’s important to purchase a camera that doesn’t include small batteries or parts which can be easily removed or swallowed by children. Besides this, a child may unknowingly drop the camera.
So, make sure you purchase a digital camera and camcorder battery chargers that rank higher in terms of sturdiness, functionality, and price. If you’re confused as to which camera to select as a gift for your child, below are a few cameras that deserve your look:
Fisher-Price Kid Tough See Yourself Camera
Built to withstand rough handling, this cute camera comes in pink, blue, and black. Its built-in memory stores more than 1000 photos. Offering kid-friendly functions, it lets your child take stunning shots even from a distance. However, it’s crucial to teach your child how to hold the camera still so that they can avoid taking blurry photos.
The Fisher-Price is ideal for three-year-olds. Thus, even if your little one drops it off multiple times, it’s extremely sturdy case will hardly show any scratches.
VTech Kidizoom Camera
Designed for tiny hands, VTech Kidizoom’s dual grips enable children to hold the camera firmly. The camera has memory storage of up to a thousand photos. If your child loves to record a video, they can do so easily because this camera also includes an inbuilt video card. Interestingly, this camera includes built-in frames so that your child can easily beautify their photos further by selecting a desired photo frame.
As if this wasn’t enough, it also includes the “games” feature that enables kids to capture photos and then solve picture puzzles with these photos.

Playskool Showcam 2-in-1 Digital Camera & Projector
Want to surprise your child with something that’s not just a camera?

Gift them all the happiness in one device by selecting Playskool Showcam!
This camera offers more than 50 animations your child can add to their photos and then project them in front of the entire family. Since kids love experimenting with the projector, they’ll enjoy taking photos and projecting them.

If done the right way, they’ll actually learn to be creative while using their Playskool Showcam.
Crayola 5.1 MP Camera
This digital camera offers something others don’t: the built-in flash. Providing a stunning picture quality even for indoor photos, Crayola makes its mark by providing large handles so that it’s easier for your child to hold it tightly while capturing their best shot. Moreover, it’s sturdy design is quite hardy against any spills or tumbles.
Besides this, its 5.1 megapixels prove that your child will be able to take better photos right from the beginning. However, you’ll be required to buy additional memory for this camera so that your child can take as many photos as they wish to.
The Bottom Line
If your child has the inner photographer in them, a digital camera can be the best gift you can give to them. That’s because learning to use the different features of a digital camera and using a battery charger just takes a day. And when they have a collection of photos to show off to others, you’ll feel proud of their creative skills! Nevertheless, all this is achievable if you’re able to choose your child’s first camera by considering even the nitty-gritty details.
