Most 10 year olds fall into a couple of different categories when it comes to receiving gifts. They're too old for "little kid toys" and still too young for "teenager stuff." This can make gift-giving reasonably challenging. Thankfully, the array of items on the market today is more expansive than ever, which gives you a great chance of finding the perfect gift for the 10 year old you're shopping for.
This camera for kids has front- and rear-facing cameras for taking selfies and photos. It also has built-in games to keep children entertained and parental controls to limit game time. The camera includes an automatic shut-off feature, a 2.4-inch color LCD screen, and special effects that can turn photos into cartoons, collages and more. The camera also comes with a micro USB cable and wrist strap.
