Thanks to Cal...this week, the grandkids are out of school and staying with us and they are looking for an adventure with two p&s cameras!
One, the youngest at age 6, will have the Canon Powershot A720 and the oldest at age 7, will have the Nikon 5400.
They will be given the cameras, set on P, and a list of items to photograph all through the neighborhood. This gives us a chance to get out and about in the beautiful fall weather and allow the kids to go crazy outside instead of indoors.😛
Of course, there will be prizes for participating and we will post their best image on my blog. This is kind of an extension of my project I started three years ago, "Children and Photography". But now they have their own cameras and will be given projects to complete during the upcoming Christmas holidays.
So, if anyone has some old digital cameras lying around inactive, this proves that they are very useful teaching tools. Sure, they could take pictures with their Nintendo 3 DS games at the risk of breaking/losing them but having a nice little digital camera all their own when they visit us gives them a chance to progress to manual setting the cameras after they get used to using them.
