A digital camera designed for children, though not as advanced in photographic capability compared to the grown up kind, does have many of the very same features as standard. Cameras designed with younger kids in mind also come with a hardy casing, being essential that the camera is sturdy enough to allow for the drops and bangs which it is likely to withstand. Children are children, after all.

There is little point sending little Joe off to school, with his two left hands and your precious, top of the line camera. Then complaining when it comes home damaged. Do the sensible thing and save yourself a bundle as well. Start them off with their very own basic camera, constructed for mommy and daddy's 'little angels.' Then buy one of the more sophisticated models as they progress into their teenage years. Now, that makes sense, doesn't it?

As they learn to use the camera, children start to hone their artistic capabilities. However, it is important that you guide them with regards to using the camera correctly. Especially for younger children. Otherwise, it might not appear to them to be any different from their existing stock of car and doll toys. Which, of course, it is! The good thing is, there's a lot going for you as a parent to buy this particular 'toy', since it has tangible output (that is photographs).
