Colette just launched their new website and I spotted this limited edition Polaroid pop camera kit on there. The kit “contains one instant One600 ultra camera, 2 stickers sheets to make your own camera and one pack of 10 photos with ‘Pop design’ customised frames.” I do think it is overpriced considering you are just putting the stickers on to decorate the camera. But it is fun to look at. And the colette site is fun, too.

I’m not a big fan of Monopoly (I’m a Scrabble gal at heart). But it might be a bit more fun with a customizable photo-opoly board game.

I just read about Perpetual Kid over on Funky Finds. Not only do they sell this cool picture frame with backlight for illuminating photo transparencies, they also sell the tic tac toe puzzle frame I wrote about for the photojojo newsletter, which up until now I had only found for sale in the UK. Check out the sliding puzzle frame, too. Fun frames for adults and kids alike.

Who doesn’t love a good giant camera/giant bunny print? Spotted by Jessica over at Funky Finds, this print is on sale for $13.50.

Kind of kooky… French company YOVOP Your Own Very Old Portrait takes photos and makes them into – you guessed it – old portraits. Fun site to check out (and I love the name).

These animal frames available at KarmaKiss.com definitely fall in the kitschy cute category. But perfect fun party favors, especially for kids.

1. Photo frame pencil toppers (set of six for $8.99)
2. Dancing animal photo key chains ($6) – pull the string and watch them dance
3. Karma Kritter frames ($8.99)
4. Rockin’ animal photo frames ($7) – the little heads on these frames bobble back and forth

Want a rock-star belt buckle with a photo of your choosing? Barbie’s Basement Jewelry of Toronto will make custom versions of the above buckle as well as their other products and designs (including pendants, rings, pet tags and key rings). (They do ship to the US, too!)

New lomo novelty camera, the Dalek Supersampler, now at Colette.

Designed by the artist, Dalek, the camera comes with a Dalek design book with photos and assorted graphic design plus a supersampler booklet.

Weird and wacky photo clocks. Photo clock and memo clock, which has little clips for your pictures. Available online from UK shop Fearless.

I wrote a piece for today’s photojojo newsletter – all about cool ways for kids to play with your photos. If you haven’t already signed up for photojojo’s newsletter, go do it now! They have lots of cool photo tips, projects, gear reviews and it really is a fun newsletter to read.

I’m having some server/wordpress issues, so the tattoo project instructions are looking funky right now. Will get that fixed as soon as I can. And, I am going on vacation this week, so posting will be light. But check back next Monday for the next installment of “school’s out…” and more fun photo finds.

Face cake, photo cupcakes, and now photo cookies. Who knew photography could be so yummy?

Bobabo creator Gabriela Cantu, another winner of Fred Flare’s next big thing, designed this very cute mini camera keychain. A camera that smiles right back at ya!

Some more photo finds from up to you in Toronto (and available to be shipped worldwide). A fun little photo frame postcard made of high recycled content. This frame can be folded together as a free-standing single picture frame, free standing multiple picture frame, or as a single or double hanging picture frame.

Also, the presse-citron zig frame that unfolds to hold countless pictures or postcards, Smoy photo cuffs and a novelty stereoviewer card. (Thanks Dimitra!)

Some cool retro camera glasses from ICP available at their online store.

If you’re like me, you covet cameras like Hasselblad, Leica and Zeiss. Until I can afford one of these, I may just have to do with an Optrixx trick lens. The lenses, which contain a multifaceted prism, are available in 5 cool designs of these classic cameras: Hasselblad, Kodak, Leica, Nikon and Zeiss Ikon. You can also take pics through them with your digitial camera; the resulting image displays the subject reflected hundreds of times. Hasselblad, Nikon and Kodak styles available online at mxyplyzk in the odds & ends section. Still looking for where to buy the Leica and Zeiss styles.
