Capture the magic of the moment through art, imagination, and storytelling!

This adorable and interactive Creative Camera Coloring Craftivity invites kids to design their very own camera and create a sliding film strip filled with meaningful memories, imaginative adventures, and snapshot stories from the heart.

Using crayons or oil pastels and watercolor paint, children will explore the magic of the watercolor resist technique while decorating their camera with personal pizazz. Then, they’ll bring their creativity to life by drawing mini “photographs” on the film strip - from favorite people and special places to future dreams and silly scenes from their imagination.

Once assembled, the film strip slides through the camera lens, allowing kids to “change the picture” and retell their stories again and again!
