The sun is shining and you wonder,

"What can I do outside with my child?" 

Go out for a Picture Walk!

• Give your child a disposable camera and take a walk around the neighborhood, mall or park. 
• Have them take pictures of different things, buildings and people. (Have your child ask permission before taking pictures of people).
• At the end of the walk, talk about what you both saw and what your child took pictures of. 
• Get them developed and then use the pictures to create a picture book.  Tape or glue each photo onto a piece of paper and help your child think up a story to go with all the images. 

It's an activity that can be done with your child over the course of a weekend.

Or fish out some old pictures of your own and create a picture book of family memories! 

Does your child love using a camera?  Or being in front of it? Tell us an anecdote of your child and a camera...
