Taking pictures is almost a daily event at my house. My daughters love pretending to take pictures with all the broken cameras we have. They are ecstatic when they have a real camera to use but this mommy cringes every time they pick up our point and shoot. Thank goodness there are cameras for kids! Add a widely known animated figure, like Dora, to the camera and kids are hooked (at least my kids were).
Dora the Explorer now has a talking digital camera! This new product is the teamwork of Sakar pairing with Nickelodeon. Designed for little kids, this organically shaped camera includes a software suite and has a number of built-in phrases from Dora. The MSRP of this fun little device is $29.99 and it can be found in stores as well as online at places like Amazon
We put this camera to use for review. My girls really enjoyed using it.
Pros: Lightweight, easy to power on and off, buttons are simple to push, Dora’s voice is engaging, the software is manageable by a four-year-old.
Cons: There is no display screen to review pictures, photos cannot be deleted without uploading them to the computer via the mandatory software, you need an absolutely teeny tiny screwdriver to get the battery cover open.
One lucky Coupons Are Great reader will win their very own Dora the Explorer Talking Digital Camera!!!

One of us always has a camera in our hands so we have tons and tons of pictures but it is never enough. There is always something I wish I had gotten. Maybe putting a camera into the hands of our youngest (the ONLY one who does not have one yet:) will give us those last shots…

My favorite picture is of my yorkies, particularly the one that tilts his head as if he is listening to you.
I captured my 10 year old last year when all he wanted was backugon. So I got one and wraped it in 4 different sizes and got the look on his face with each one and finally what he had really wanted. It was priceless
I captured my son on his first day of Kindergarten! That smile was priceless!

The one memory I would have love to capture is when my grandson was around 4 and he had a wand and was pretending to be a magician. My husband told him be careful, you might make grandma disappear. He said a magic word and he wasn’t looking at me and I hurried and hid behind the couch and when he turned to look, I was gone. My husband said the look on his face was priceless.
I caught a picture of my kids wrestling in a tent we had put up.
This is a moment I wish I would have caught on camera: My cockapoo puppy has this habit of taking his things out of his kennel. Charlie drug his blanket out & then went on to play with something else. Oscar the cat decides he will lay on the Charlie’s blanket. Charlie then barks at Oscar trying to get him off of his blanket. Oscar totally ignores him so Charlie starts dragging around his blanket with Oscar laying on it. Those two remind me of two little kids!

My memory is a picture of my husband in the hospital holding our 1-day-old daughter. He looks awful and probably wouldn’t have let me take the picture if he knew just how awful. 🙂
We caught a special picture when my son was little and we went to Niagra Falls. There was a mural at a gift store and our picture turned out fantastic in front of it

Right before my son was born I asked for a film camera for Christmas. My son was born the 28th of Dec. I had used the camera through one roll at least between getting it and his being born because I also had a 2 yr old daughter. When we brought him home I was clicking picture after picture for a month and realized one day I hadn’t ran out of film yet. THERE WAS NONE IN IT! I was heartbroken!
my favorite pic is when my son was an infant we put him in a pumpkin with a pumpkin hat.he is 3 now and that is still my favorite pic of him

My all time favorite picture was taken moments after our DD was born. DH is holding her and eventhough we had all been up for over 35 hours at this point he has the BIGGEST smile ever on his face. He looks like the happiest and proudest Daddy ever, looking at this picture brings so much joy to me.

Well technically I didn’t take the picture, my mom did but it’s of me when I was little. I was very upset because my mom made me take a bath, and she snapped a photo of me sitting on the stairs wrapped up in a towel with a pout-y face. (I remember I got balloons a little later because I was still upset.)

I got my daughter with her bathing suit over her clothes. She was very excited to go to the pool and it was the first time she put her own suit on.
My favorite pic by far was of my 6 year old daughter pushing her 3 year old brother in her babydoll stroller. How she got him in there is beyond me – mommies back was turned 😉 He also had a bonnet on his head. The last family gathering where I showed the picture was the last time I saw it…..hmmm, do you think my now 28yr old son snuck off with it?
