MINIBEAR Kids Camera Instant Print Camera for Kids Digital Camera Toddler Toys Christmas Birthday Gifts for 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Year Old Boys Girls, Pink

We got this for our oldest grandson when he turned 6 this past Spring. I was looking for a camera because he had been wanting a camera for the past several years - and had gotten a couple of old model digital cameras, but they went through way too many batteries. Our grandson saw a polaroid camera somewhere and loved the idea of cameras that instantly spit out photos, but those cameras and the film that goes with them are way too expensive and they just aren't practical for little kids. I decided to do a used camera hunt, but most of those cameras also required batteries and they didn't spit out photos. Then I decided to see if there were any cameras out there that made sense for a 6-year-old and I came across this little camera. It seemed perfect, so we bought it. Our grandson was beyond excited! As far as he was concerned, the simple little black and white images are absolutely perfect! It's so cute to watch him take pictures that he hands out to family members as mementos, or that he puts into a little collection box, or that he glues on paper to make books and projects. He and his sister also make little video stories with it for themselves to replay later, since the camera also can make videos. He has had it for over 5 months and he is still very creative with it. Unfortunately, one day the camera quit working properly, and unlike other times that my daughter was able to work through after getting instructions for it, this time was a bit of a camera tragedy. I contacted the MINIBEAR company through Amazon and the very helpful and friendly customer service person worked with me until she too came to the same conclusion that whatever happened to the camera seemed permanent. So the company sent my grandson a new camera! He was so excited to get his camera back that he turned it right on and went to work. He didn't have the broken one with him when I gave him the new one, and he missed the pictures he thought he had lost, but when his mother put the original SD card into the new camera,...voilà! There they were again! So if you're wondering if I would buy this camera again, then the answer is a resounding YES! We have another grandson and a granddaughter both turning 6 this year and the plan is to get them each a camera also because they have seen the first one and loved it. Are the black and white thermal images perfect? To the modern adult eye that is used to high definition digital photos, maybe not. But to the innocent creativity of a child, it's amazing! The camera itself records the images and videos in digital color and those photo images can be printed as color photos just like any other camera. This is an actual camera, even though it looks like a toy. I wouldn't really give it to a much younger child, just because they tend to toss things over their shoulder without giving it a thought, then wonder why it quit working. That's why we're waiting a bit to give cameras to the other two. I also suggest going ahead and buying some of the extra paper rolls they offer through MINIBEAR. I think the three rolls that come with the camera will give around 210 little pictures, but a little kid will happily take 210 pictures of everything he/she sees in no time, especially while the camera is still new. Keep in mind, the camera uses thermal paper - like the receipt paper from the store - so don't keep it stored in the car or anywhere it might get too hot, or the paper might not work for photos.

This instant print camera is one of the best toy gifts that you can get for any child. It's so much better than any other toys because it's very interactive and so much fun. With this, they can take pictures, record videos, listen to music and play simple puzzle games from the large LED screen on the back. It will keep them busy for hours with so many things you can do with it. The best part is that you can instantly print the photos you've taken in black and white. It has thermal printing technology so you never need to worry about running out of ink. The print speed and quality is very impressive. I would go ahead and buy the extra 10 rolls of papers because they will love going around taking photos and printing. In fact, there's option to buy the same camera but with 10 rolls of paper so I would recommend that option as it provides much better value for the money. The built-in rechargeable battery makes it very portable and allows you to take photos and print from anywhere without having to connect to a computer or AC outlet. If your kid is bored or is always on tablet or phone watching videos or playing games, then let them explore around the house to take pictures and print them then color them with this camera. They can also take selfie with their friends and clip the printed photos in their room. Highly recommend it!

For the price, this is great! My niece felt so happy going around taking photos and feeling like she had a real camera. There are also a lot of funny filters and sticker stuff she enjoyed playing around with. So for usability, this was great. That said, when you actually go to print the photos, the quality is really bad. It’s cool that it allows you to print, love the thought, but it doesn’t function well in practice. For the price, that’s absolutely expected and maybe for younger kids, they might not care, but for 6+ I think it made her disinterested in using since everyone is so used to sharper images these days

Out of the box, this product was cute and felt good. It is small and easy to hold as well for kids. A very cute product. For this price, it is worth it and I would recommend it to any parents for their kid.` My 2 cents below: Pros: - Has tons of features in a tiny camera. It has games too and even video can be recorded - Instant print works nice and picture quality is decent for kids - Decent build quality - Clear picture quality on the screen - Has a rechargeable battery and so no cost of using AA/AAA batteries - 3 print rolls included in the package - It’s a great gift option for kids as it comes in a nice packaging - Detailed instruction manual included for reference Cons: - Not the best picture and video quality but remember it is for kids and hence it is fine as per me

The MINIBEAR Kids Camera has exceeded all my expectations as both an educational toy and a functional first camera for children. This 3-in-1 device combines instant printing, digital photography, and video recording in one compact package that's perfectly sized for little hands. The instant thermal printing feature is absolutely magical for kids - watching their photos print in just 3 seconds never fails to delight. I appreciate that it can print either immediately after capturing or selectively from stored images, providing flexibility for different situations. Image quality is impressive for a children's camera, with 48MP photos and 1080P HD video that capture memories clearly. The 16X digital zoom, auto-focus, and fill light features allow children to experiment with different photography techniques, while the timestamp function helps them document their adventures. The camera's playback option encourages kids to review and appreciate their work, fostering both creativity and critical thinking skills. What sets this camera apart are its thoughtful educational features. With over 25 filters and sticker frames, children can personalize their photos while developing artistic skills. The built-in music player and puzzle games provide additional entertainment value during travel or downtime. Parents will appreciate the adjustable settings for print density, button sounds, and automatic shutdown - features that demonstrate the manufacturer's understanding of both children's needs and parental concerns. Battery life is sufficient for 2-3 hours of continuous use, and the auto-shutdown feature helps conserve power when the camera isn't in use. The durable ABS construction feels sturdy enough to withstand typical child use, and the non-toxic materials provide peace of mind for safety-conscious parents. As a gift, this camera shines. Its combination of fun features and educational value makes it ideal for birthdays, holidays, or special occasions. I've watched children as young as 3 and as old as 10 all find joy in using it, each discovering features appropriate for their developmental stage. The included lanyard helps prevent drops, while the pink color (also available in other options) makes it appealing to many children. After observing children use this camera extensively, I can confirm it successfully balances entertainment with skill development. It encourages outdoor exploration, artistic expression, and technical learning in a way that feels like pure fun. The instant prints provide tangible results that children treasure, often leading to creative projects like scrapbooks or photo collages. For parents concerned about screen time, this camera offers a wonderful alternative that engages children in real-world creativity. The puzzle games are simple enough not to be addictive, while the photography functions promote observation and appreciation of their surroundings. It's particularly valuable for travel, keeping children engaged with their environment rather than glued to passive entertainment. The MINIBEAR Kids Camera represents exceptional value considering its multiple functions, build quality, and included accessories (paper rolls, SD card, USB cable). It outperforms more expensive competitors in both features and durability. While the prints are black and white (as expected with thermal printing), this actually encourages children to focus on composition rather than color. In conclusion, this is one of those rare toys that delivers genuine educational value while providing hours of engaged, creative play. It makes an ideal gift for any child showing interest in photography or needing encouragement to explore the world around them. Five stars without reservation - a product that both children and parents will love. The MINIBEAR Kids Camera has become my go-to gift for birthdays and holidays, and I consistently hear back from parents about how much their children enjoy using it.

Had trouble with the printing at first. Had to clean it with rubbing alcohol several times before it would print without streaks across. Then it seemed to work fine for an 8 year old. I liked that it uses rolls of paper so it’s less expensive than other cameras that or t in film.

Absolutely perfect for the lil ones .

Updated review : The seller contacted me and sent me a new camera and it holds a charge just fine so far. My daughter seems to really enjoy the camera. Some of the camera features aren't particularly intuitive for me to use (but that could just be me), but it's easy enough to take a photo and print it. The print quality is what you might expect for a thermal printer, but when there is plenty of contrast in the photo composition, you can see detail in the photos. It's nice that my daughter can take as many photos as she likes without my worrying about using up expensive photo paper and ink, and she definitely takes a lot of pictures. She finds all sorts of things to photo and she also likes to take "picture bands," where she takes several pictures without tearing the picture from the roll between shots. Lots of entertainment for a 4.5-year-old budding artist! Would recommend. I bought this in October to give to my 4-year-old daughter for Christmas. Unfortunately, I didn't take it out of the package and try it out until Christmas Eve. When I did take it out it, it would only turn on when it was attached to the charger. I charged it all night, but it would immediately turn off as soon as I disconnected it from the charger. Unfortunately, the camera won't take pictures when it's charging, so my daughter couldn't even play with it connected to the cord. I contacted customer service and tried their suggestions for fixing it to no avail The company then kindly said they would send be a replacement camera. Sadly, I have yet to receive the replacement nor have my follow-up emails been answered. It's a cute camera and a fun idea. If only it worked. And lesson learned about not waiting till Christmas Eve to try out the gifts... Santa will have better quality control next year.

My niece was happy it does the job

A perfect gift for kids. Easy to use . You can has different modes to set it with. Can be changed to color and black and white. Can be set as auto print after taking photo. Comes with few printing rolls. Loved it

A los niños les encanta tomar fotos y sacar videos. Además tiene juegos sencillos. Muy lindas

This kidz printing camera has to be the most fun the kids have had for ages. Once I figured out how to turn the annoying music and beeping down they were off taking photos and printing. The kit comes with the camera, 3 rolls of thermal (one installed) paper, a usb cable and ssd card along with a lanyard strap. Everything you could want to start off with. The instructions came in multiple languages and the setup menus should have been intuitive. As an adult it took me a while to figure out how to select the function using the shoot photo button but from there on it was very easy. The printouts are surprisingly clear for b&W. Such pressure with kids jiggling in front of you telling you to hurry up . Highly recommend for a fun holiday gift…… make sure each kid gets one and that you have spare rolls of paper until you can convince them to transfer images to a computer and you can print using a regular printer. The thermal prints do fade so make sure the child understands it not permanent until they transfer them.
