large format printing : Fun Photo Projects For Children
If you're a teacher or parent, you may be interested in creating some fun digital photography related projects for children. I sometimes plan fun and interesting photo projects for my son so that he can learn about photography and have a whale of a time too.
In this article, we'll explore 3 interesting photo project ideas we can prepare for children, so read on!
Idea 1: Make a Photo Journal
One interesting photo project is to let the child create a personal photo journal. Ask the child to hang on to the digital camera for a few days, snapping anything that captures his or her fancy.
At the end of that period, help him or her to upload the pictures to a computer, then add some good captions or funny quotes. A simple, easy activity to do, which is also rewarding for the family too.
You can use a program like Microsoft Powerpoint to maintain the photo album or print the pictures and bind them into a hardcover book.
Idea 2: Create a Nice Jigsaw Puzzle
Here's a good project to undertake if your child likes jigsaw puzzles. Print out a nice, large format picture, then stick it onto a large cardboard. Next, cut up the cardboard into small curved pieces anf voila, we have a homemade jigsaw puzzle.
Another way to do this is to use a cool software I found called Brainsbreaker. This program allows you to turn any digital photo into a jigsaw puzzel which you can solve on the computer. Neat, huh?
Idea 3: What Could This Be? Another interesting photo project is to snap a picture of a common, everyday object - using a very odd angle or close-up view.
Entrust the digital camera to the kids, then ask them to sniff out ordinary objects to take photos of. Ask them to take the photos at weird, unusual, and otherworldly angles.
When they're done, upload the pictures to the PC and start playing a guessing game. Ask the kids to guess what subject is being photographed in each mystery photo. You'll be amazed at the answers you get! Snap a whole slew of such pictures and you'll occupy the kids for the whole afternoon!
Conclusion
As you can see, there are many fun-filled photo projects you can create for kids. Take note of some of these ideas the next time you're cracking your brains and thinking about how to occupy the children.
