free printable play camerasAre your kids as enthralled with taking pictures as mine are? They’re obsessed. In fact, my camera roll is filled with selfies of two small blondies. And pictures of every piece of furniture in our house. And also pictures of our cat Tiger (who I don’t even really like).

    1. Love seeing your face on here sweet friend!
      Oh Tiger. We kind of inherited him. He supposedly kills mice/rats so we keep him around. I tolerate him better than Adam does- haha.

  2. These are adorable. My kids are constantly taking photos when they’re allowed to play on their Leapster GS and it cracks me up. I limit video game time and they use theirs to walk around the house and take photos of the things around them. Ha!
