Summer is a season full of adventure, exploration, and joyful moments—whether it's a family vacation, a backyard picnic, or a spontaneous trip to the beach. While the days may pass quickly, the memories made can last a lifetime. By giving your child a way to document these experiences through their lens, you’re helping them see the world in a new way and tell their own sunny story—one photo at a time.
At Kidamento, we believe that the best way for kids to exercise creativity is with a digital camera built just for them—easy to use, durable, and tons of fun. Here are 5 inspiring ways to help your child capture the spirit of summer and all the adventures that come with it.
1. Make a Summer Shot List Together
Start your season by creating a “summer shot list” with your child. Together, come up with a checklist of fun things to photograph—like “my favourite ice cream,” “cool clouds,” or “a moment I laughed.”
This turns photography into a mini scavenger hunt, making it one of the most engaging and fun summer activities. Whether you're home or on a family vacation, this keeps kids tuned in to their surroundings.
Tip: Model P is perfect for this because of its snap and print capabilities
2. Let Them Be Little Storytellers
Photos tell stories—and kids have the best ones. Encourage your child to use their photos to answer questions like:
- What was the most fun part of today?
- What did you see on our summer travel adventure?
- Who made you smile?
Not only does this help them reflect, but it also enhances their creativity and storytelling skills. Their kids' camera becomes a gateway to their imagination.
3. Create a Summer Memory Journal
After each trip or activity, print your child’s favourite photos and let them paste them into an album (or our beloved and fun Activity Book). Add handwritten notes, stickers, or drawings to personalize each page.
It’s a perfect hands-on activity during downtime and becomes a keepsake full of their favourite summer moments and memories.
4. Host a Family Photo Night
Make it a tradition! At the end of each week or trip, let your child choose their top 5-10 photos to showcase to the family. They can explain why they picked each one, turning the living room into their photo gallery.
Whether it’s beach days, hikes, or city sightseeing, this encourages reflection and builds confidence.
You can also display their work on the fridge or walls as a way to show how special their creations are!
5. Turn Photos into Summer Gifts
There’s nothing grandparents love more than handmade gifts—especially ones filled with smiling faces and little feet exploring. Help your child turn their photos into greeting cards, framed prints, or mini albums to share with loved ones.
Not only is this a thoughtful way to stay connected, it also reinforces the value of shared experiences during your summer adventure for kids.
Don’t forget to pack your kids' digital camera before your next trip! Our Silicone Bags are the perfect accessory for carrying them around effortlessly.
Phones are fragile and distracting—but a Kidamento kids camera is built just for children, with the right size, features, and fun factor to empower little photographers. From a trip to the zoo to a full-on road trip, the right travel camera for kids keeps them engaged and excited to document their world.
With the right tools—like a durable, fun kids' camera—your next family vacation might just be the start of their lifelong love for photography.
