Composition
* Consider investing in a cheap tripod (prices start from about 20) to help teach children how to frame a shot. Not holding the camera will give the children one less thing to think about while learning how to co-ordinate eye with viewfinder and provide opportunities to view and discuss the composition of a shot.
