52 Weekly Photo Challenges for Kids

If your kid has a Camp Snap, a RewindPix, or any simple camera collecting dust on a shelf, I made this for you.

It’s called “Off the Screen, Into the Scene: 52 Weekly Photo Challenges” and it’s a free downloadable guide packed with a full year of creative photography missions for kids.

Here’s the honest backstory: I spend a lot of time thinking about creativity and how it gets crowded out by screens. Not in a preachy way. I have kids. I get it. Screens are easy. Handing a kid a camera and saying “go find something interesting” is harder.

So I made it easier.

Each week has a simple, focused challenge that sends kids out into the real world to actually look at things. Not scroll. Not watch. Look.

A few things I love about how this works:

• The challenges are open-ended enough to spark creativity, but specific enough that kids don’t just shrug and walk away
• They work with any basic kid-friendly camera, no smartphone required
• The photo reveal at the end of each week becomes a genuine family moment, not a chore
• Kids build a creative habit slowly, over a whole year, without it ever feeling like homework

Whether your kid is 6 or 12, brand new to photography or already obsessed with it, these challenges meet them where they are.
