KidiZoom Creator Cam
(Vtech $59.99)
Our tester gave high grades to the KidiZoom Creator Cam kit comes with a steady/sturdy table-top tripod (which can also be used as a selfie stick) and a green screen. The camera can take both photos and video, has a rotating lens, so that kids can take selfies and record themselves easily. Kids can learn how to make their own movie magic and disappear with the green screen and edit their videos on the camera. They can add 20+ animated backgrounds including one for outer space and another a chase scene with a T-Rex! An exciting piece of equipment for kids—a better choice than letting them play with the camera on their parent's phone. It’s built for kids with durability in mind and has lots of filters and effects for playful experimenting. The camera's memory can be expanded with a microSD card (not included). Requires 3.7-volt rechargeable lithium ion battery, included; recharge battery with included USB cable. The box says 5+, but we think a parent's help will be needed for a lot of the special features. We believe 7s+ would get the most value from this very cool new kids’ camera.
