Kids Photo Project Ideas

[Bigman]

Hi umm im kinda new at this forum stuff so here it goes... Recently i enrolled as a counseler in an Arts Camp located in Portland, Or. I was loved photo when i was in school and all but i dont remember many of the fun projects we did (if we did any???). So I was wondering if there was anyone out there that could tell me a fun project that i could do with the kids. But do remember that there ages range anywhere from 5 to 18. The Camp last for 6 weeks and i think i am gonna do pinhole cameras for a whole week so i got one covered. So if i could get any kind of input on this it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks;

John

Check out cyanotype kits. They can make blue and white images by laying things on the cyanotype paper in the sun, and it "develops" in water.

For the younger kids try a photo collage or a photo placemat. My kids did both of these at pre-school and love them. Just provide the picture (or have them take some or bring some) construction paper, glitter, sparkles and contact paper and you're all set.

I think you could even get lamination for the place mats for fairly cheap.
