Timber Toy Cameras

For the Little Photographers, 'Twig Exotics' are the Perfect Wooden Subsitute

— May 15, 2013 — Life-Stages
Grownups and kids alike love taking pictures, so founders of 'Twig' Michelle and Steven decided to create a quirky nostalgic kid's toy camera so children can be just as hipster as Mom and Dad.

Made entirely from wood, this toy camera is named 'Pixie' from the 'Twig Exotic' collection and comes complete with a real working shutter button and turning lens. With a white cotton neck strap, kids can truly and accurately simulate taking photos. The zebra-like stripe blend of contrasting light and dark woods used in the body of the camera add an old school chic vibe to this luxurious little novelty. The simple and classic design of this children's camera -- and the fact that it isn't a conventional children's toy made from plastic -- makes it almost too beautiful to be a toy. Any child would look adorable at the park taking faux-pictures with Mom and Dad -- I even want one!

1. Wooden Toy Cameras - Opportunity to disrupt the toy industry by offering eco-friendly alternatives to plastic cameras for children.
2. Nostalgic Kid's Toys - Opportunity to tap into the growing market of parents seeking retro-inspired toys for their children.
3. Hipster-inspired Children's Products - Opportunity to create unique and stylish products for children that appeal to parents with a trendy aesthetic.

2. Photography Accessories - Opportunity to create camera accessories specifically designed for children, such as neck straps and lens attachments.
