She Kept Grabbing Your Phone to Take Pictures. Now She Has a Camera of Her Own.
Five reasons parents are handing their little photographer a Clickasaur instead of their phone — a kids digital camera with a soft silicone dinosaur on top, a selfie lens on the back and a 2-inch screen she can actually see.
Give Her the Job She Keeps Asking For. She Doesn't Want Your Phone — She Wants to Be the Photographer.
You know the move. You sit down, she climbs into your lap, and thirty seconds later your phone is in her hand and she's pointing it at the dog, the ceiling, your left nostril. One grandmother put it plainly: “She had been stealing my phone during visits to take pictures so I hoped this would be a good gift.”
Here's what's going on. She isn't after the phone. She's after the job. Little kids watch grown-ups take pictures all day, and they want a turn behind the lens. A phone gives her that for about a minute, until somebody takes it back.
Clickasaur gives her the job for good. Her own camera on her own lanyard, her own photos, a dinosaur on top so everybody knows whose it is. And your phone goes back in your pocket. One parent summed up the result in a sentence: “He hasn't figured out the games yet but loves being the photographer.”
Front Lens, Selfie Lens, 1080P Video. And a 2-Inch Screen She Can Actually See.
This isn't a pretend camera. The big orange lens on the front takes real photos and 1080P video, with 8x digital zoom for the squirrel across the yard. Press the shutter on top and the shot pops up on the 2-inch screen on the back, big enough for small eyes to check every picture.
Above that screen sits a second lens. Flip to selfie mode and she sees her own face before she presses the button — which is how you end up with forty photos of her and grandpa squeezed into one frame. Parents mention the selfie mode more than any other button: “The selfie mode is her favorite feature.”
The shutter is one big button on top, sized for small fingers. Point, press, look at the screen, laugh, do it again.
6 Filters, 28 Photo Frames, Puzzle Games and Music. The Part That Fills the Rainy Afternoon.
The photos are the first hour. What keeps the camera in her hands all week is what happens after: 6 color filters, 28 cartoon photo frames to drop around her shots, a handful of puzzle games and a built-in music player.
So the dog gets a party-hat frame, grandma gets turned black-and-white, and the car ride home turns into a puzzle game instead of another “can I have your phone?” No app, no Wi-Fi, no account to set up — it's all on the camera.
Filters and games were the single most talked-about feature in the 200 kids-camera reviews we read, mentioned in 71 of them.
A Soft Dino Case Built for the Drops Little Hands Make. And a Lanyard So She Can Wear It.
A four-year-old drops things. That's not a flaw in the four-year-old, it's the job description. The trouble is that your phone hits the kitchen tile and you're paying for a screen.
Clickasaur wears a thick, soft silicone dinosaur case over the whole body — the corners, the back, the top. Then it clips onto a neck lanyard, so she wears it like a real photographer and it hangs on her instead of landing on the floor. One parent's report: “It is durable, and has lasted through 3 vacations and several drops, sand, and splashes of water.”
So it goes where she goes: the backyard, the beach bag, the car seat, grandma's porch. Durability came up in 64 of the 200 reviews we read.
The 32GB Card Is Already in the Box. Unwrap It, Charge It, Hand It Over.
Nothing to buy before it works. A 32GB memory card comes in the box — room for roughly 4,500 photos — along with the soft silicone dinosaur case, the neck lanyard, a USB charging cable and the manual. The battery is built in and recharges off that cable, so there are no AA batteries to hunt for on Christmas morning.
