My 9-year-old and 7-year-old immediately bonded with another similar-age child at an art opening last year over her instant-print camera. Before they had even exchanged words, she had taken portraits of my children, printed them out, and handed them over as gifts: instant friendship. I ended up chatting with her mother, who happened to be one of the artists showing at the gallery that night, and she raved about this very affordable camera that she had found on Amazon, saying she felt it had changed the way her daughter was looking at the world.
