INSTANT PRINT CAMERA | ‘ARTIST’ | — BY HOPPSTAR®

A camera, printer and creative tool in one, the Hoppstar® Artist lets children capture their world and hold the result in their hands just seconds later. Photos print instantly in black and white, ready to colour, share or keep, while the selfie camera, video function, filters and frames offer even more ways to create — all without distracting built-in games.

Winner of the ToyAward 2024 – Startup category, the Artist combines playful technology with Hoppstar®’s beautifully considered child-focused design.

WHY WE LOVE IT

• Prints photographs in approximately 3 seconds
• Turns photography into something tactile children can colour, share and keep
• Combines photography, video and instant printing in one beautifully designed camera
• Includes creative filters and frames, but no built-in games
• Front and selfie cameras encourage children to photograph both their world and themselves
• Thermal printing means no ink cartridges are required

DEVELOPMENTAL BENEFITS

• Creativity — children can photograph, print and personalise their own images
• Observation — encourages them to slow down and notice people, colours and details
• Fine motor skills — taking photos, handling prints and colouring them supports hand-eye coordination
• Visual storytelling — photographs become a way to record experiences and tell their own stories
• Independent exploration — an intuitive creative tool designed specifically for children

Hoppstar® specifically identifies creativity and fine-motor development as key benefits of the Artist camera.
