What Is The Best Kids Instant Pocket Printer?
Last Updated on: 23rd February 2025, 11:45 am
Kids these days don’t want traditional toys like we had when we were kids. There is so much more out there for them to explore and with easy access to a camera, they can use this Instant Pocket Printer from Photo Creator. It is designed to be used by kids as well as adults. Even with the recommended ages of 8+, it was used by a 4-and-a-half-year-old with supervision.
What Do You Get With The Photo Creator Instant Pocket Printer?
With the Instant Pocket Printer, you get everything that you need to have fun with your photos. The set comes with:
It is so simple to set up. You need to download the Tiny Print App and then
- 3 rolls of thermal paper
- 1 sticky roll of photo paper
- The Instant Pocket Printer
- A charging lead
- A sheet of stickers
- 3 coloured pens
The thermal rolls slot in easily and take a couple of minutes to change. You can print so many photos from one of the thermal rolls. The sticker roll means your child can print and stick stickers in their favourite places, like on their phone or laptop. Because the printer prints in black and white, your child can colour the picture using the coloured pens included in the set.
The printer charges up with a USB lead, so there is no need to buy batteries, making it more eco-friendly than a printer using batteries. The stickers can be used to decorate the printer, decorate the photos or even start a scrapbook for the older kids.
How Does The Printer Work?
It is so easy to set up, you just need to download the Tiny Print app onto your phone and switch your Bluetooth on. Then the phone is connected to the printer and you can do so many different activities. You can do something as simple as printing off a photo from your phone album or creating pictures using the many backgrounds. They can use the sticky roll to create labels for school books, and stick them in a scrapbook or anywhere they want.
There is no ink in the printer, it works with thermal imaging, the same way a receipt printer prints your receipts in a shop. So you never need to pay for ink to use the instant pocket printer. The printer is portable so your child can print wherever and whenever she wants to, even if she is on the go! When you pop a new roll into the printer, you just open it up and place the new roll inside. There is no need to thread the paper through any complicated parts.
When you print, you can choose to do a high-speed print or you can choose a HD print. You do need special photo paper for good HD prints. You can choose the print depth that you want. The higher the number, the darker the print is.
The Tiny Print App
To go with the printer, you do need to download the app, this gives you options to use AI to help you to create a whole selection of photos. If your child wants to be fighting a dinosaur, you can make that happen. If they want to stare a tiger in the face, they can do that too. The world is their oyster with the app. Your child can design a frame for their photo and add some text to it too. They can also take a photo and change it to a line picture that they can colour in. Printing off is simple because they just need to press a blue button on the app. There are over 250 pictures on the app to edit and print off when they use it.
What Did Tilly And Zoe Think Of The Instant Pocket Printer
Tilly is currently studying for GCSE photography and thought this was a cool idea. In her photography lessons, she needs to explore different photography ideas and skills. Although she is less likely to use the AI features, she said she would use it for printing labels and stickers. Tilly is 14 years old.
Zoe is 4 and a half and she loves the Instant Pocket Printer, because of the AI features. She was able to pose and incorporate herself into some awesome backgrounds. She loved it and kept printing off photos. She also loved the idea of colouring the pictures in, and of course, Grandma kept those special coloured-in pictures.
What Did I Think Of The Pinter As A Parent?
The idea behind the printer is awesome. It is so easy to use and it works fast too. The printer is in a mint green colour so perfect for all the kids. And anything that promotes kids’ creativity, I am all for it. The printer is an affordable price for a birthday gift or Christmas. The printer is made by Canal Toys and you can buy it from Amazon for £34.
