Kids camera craft

Making a children's camera

Children love discovering the world around them - and what could be more exciting than capturing these experiences like real photographers? With our craft template, you can create your own camera together with your child and immerse yourself in imaginative photo adventures in a playful way. Whether as an accessory for role play, as a creative addition to a play world or simply as a colourful decoration in the children's room - the DIY camera cuts a fine figure everywhere!

And the best thing is that the camera is easy to make from cardboard - sustainable, creative and lots of fun. Kids can easily colour in the photos themselves. So grab the template and off you go!

Step-by-step guide to the children's camera

What you need:

the free craft template in 2 colours (download using the form below)
sturdy paper (at least 200 grams), preferably in DINA3 format
scissors or a cutter knife
some craft glue

Print out children's camera craft template

Firstly, select the desired craft template in yellow or blue and download it. You should use paper weighing at least 200 grams for printing. You will get the best result in DIN A3 format. Otherwise the camera will be quite small.

Here's how:

Step 1: Grab a pair of scissors or a cutter knife and cut out the paper camera. Important: Don't forget to cut out the black slit for the photos - BEFORE you glue the parts together.

Step 2: Now crease the craft template at the marked points.

Step 3: Now just glue them together using the adhesive tabs provided

DONE! It's so easy to make a camera for or together with the Minis.

Polaroid photos to colour in

Of course, photos also have to be taken with a real camera. The cool Polaroid photos for colouring in are also included in the download package. Your mini can either colour in the pictures by hand or cut out great motifs from magazines and stick them on. This creates great "own" photos.

We hope you have lots of fun with the children's camera!
