Fun Ideas for Digital Frames

• Have your children write messages (like WE LOVE YOU, GRANDMA) on poster board , a chalk board, the sidewalk, etc. Then take pictures of them standing next to the messages or holding them. 
• Scan your artwork or your children's artwork and save as a jpeg file OR take close up photos of the artwork.
• For your favorite preschooler, choose pictures of animals, family members, school friends, and favorite toys or stuffed animals.
• Do a Sesame Street style series of photos that teach numbers, letters, or shapes. If you give a frame with an online membership like a Ceiva picture frame, you can upload the letter of the day or word of the day, for example. (Here's my experience with these kind of digital frames.)

  

• For a teen or older child, use an online image search to find photos that match their current hobbies and interests - music, sports, cars, funny cartoons, etc.
• Cut out large letters that spell a message (like THANK YOU) and have one person in your family or group each hold one or two letters while someone takes a picture of the whole group. Be sure to stand in order!
• Take photos that tell a short story, using household items as props.
• Pick bible verses, inspiring quotations, and themed advice based on who the frame is for (teacher, mom, manager, etc.) and use a program like Paint, Photoshop, or Open Office to make colorful backgrounds and fonts. Remember to choose jpeg or gif when you save.
• There are so many incredile nature photos online that you can use. Just pick a favorite country, vacation spot, animal, plant or a theme like waterfalls and run an image search.
• For someone who is learning another language, take photos of people or things and label them in a photo editing software (or if you have a Ceiva digital photo frame, you can do it right in the Ceiva uploader.)
