The best camera for kids in 2024

Much as I love the Polaroid and Instax options above, the Kodak Printomatic may be the perfect instant camera for kids. Well, it's a digital instant camera, housing a proper little printer that uses Kodak's Zink all-in-one cartridges to spit out little prints that measure just 3 inches. Now, these Zink prints are more like color photocopies than the true color photos you get from Polaroid and Instax. However, they still look pretty good (especially to kids' eyes) and more importantly Zink paper is much more affordable than instant film. Plus, the prints are water, tear and smudge-resistant – and they have peelable backs that turn them into stickers, too.
