I was recently given the chance by Team Mom and Parents Magazine to review a great little toy that would make a great stocking stuffer. It is the Look At Me Camera. According to the press release from Parents Magazine:
If there’s one thing toddlers love, it’s imitating grownups – pretending is how little ones make sense of the world around them. The ultimate in imaginary play, this sleek, “just-like-mom’s” camera takes a whole new approach to hamming it up: a realistic shutter sound offers endless fun for a pint-sized photographer while a big fish-eye mirrored lens on the front of the camera engages friends lucky enough to be the subject.
This camera said it was safe for 12 months and older so I immediately knew the little girl I wanted to share this with so I called and made a play date for her and my daughter. The little girl I shared this with is 18 months old, and she LOVED this camera. It was a huge success. She carried it around the house and took everyone’s picture at least a million times. I think the mirror on the front is supposed to be a big deal for little kids, but what she really liked were the sound and light effects. When your child takes a picture, it makes a realistic clicking noise and there’s a flash, and there is also a second button that has a voice that says phrases such as, “Looking good.”
These cameras are available at Target for the suggested retail price of $15. If you are looking for a couple more small gifts for your little one, then head to Target and see if you can still get your hands on the Look-At-Me Camera.
