If your kids are like mine, they are fascinated with my digital camera. Rather than risking my expensive toy, I would rather they play around with their a-bit-less-expensive toy. So here something that sounds like a winner: the VTech Kidizoom Digital Camera. It’s colorful and fun, great for a 3 to 6 years old. It takes both pictures and mini-movies which can be seen in the built-in LCD or on TV or on the computer. 

Some of the interesting extras inlcude a binocular lens, controls via a joystick and three built-in games that kids can play on the camera’s LCD - great for a car trips! I particularily like the ability to tweak and modify the photos on the camera by adding funny elements like a hat or a moustache..

The VTech Kidizoom Digital Camera has decent specs: 3 megapixels, 1.8 inch screen, 16 MB of internal mempty, additional memory can be added in the form of SD cards, changeable faceplates, software for Windows PCs. It retails for $49.99.
