I just want to find one made in nice sturdy plastic, but there don't seem to be any companies that make "My first digital camera" which is a real shame.

JaGWiRE Goldmember 3,859 posts Joined Sep 2006 More info | BTW, I think jabtas idea of giving the camera to your child and not forcing them to use it or anything like that is a great idea. I'm rather young myself, but I found photography on my own, not because somebody told me to go take great photos or something.

There was a similar thread here recently that included a link to a Fisher-Price camera for kids. Low res - but high durability, apparently. Might want to do a search for that and see. -David
