I gave my daughter a toy camera around age 2.5 or 3 and didn't realize it also captured video. She had unintentionally discovered the video function and has since captured many conversations, photos of our old house, videos of car rides, and loving moments between our family.

She's had it for almost 3 years now and it's been one of her longest lasting toys and is, without a doubt, the most meaningful. It gives "seeing the world through her eyes" a whole new meaning.


I suggest backing it up in multiple places.

Electronic forms are so much less durable than physical.

This is such a beautiful comment.

My 4yo child recently received a $10 digital camera at a generous birthday party and independently has figured out how to take videos (in addition to photos). Some self interviews, some videos of his sibling, his family. It really is amazing to see things from his eyes.

What kind of toy camera?
That’s absolutely beautiful! It will be so priceless for her when she grows up...
