DIY Toy Camera

My little one loves to play the budding photographer so we decided to make her this cute play camera made from household recyclable materials.

What you will need:
Rectangle cardboard box
Paint
Glue
Scissors
Ribbon
Plastic lids
Double stick tape
Foam

First, paint the cardboard box and let dry.
Glue on the large lid to make the camera lens.
For the shutter button, we used a plastic chip and a small grey lid. But it’s up to you what you want to use. Glue the lid and chip together.
Cut out a small foam rectangle for the viewfinder and glue it on the box.
When the shutter button glue has set, glue it on the top of the box.
Once all the glue has dried, add the ribbon strap to the camera.
Affix the double-sided tape, on the bottom of the box and stick the ribbon to the tape.
Add the tape to both sides of the box and stick the ribbon onto the tape.

Now your cute little camera is ready for play!
This activity is a great way of turning household materials into something your child can make and play with.
