What better way to distract Tilly from our new camera than making a version just for her? Please welcome the T90 -- a stuffed felt copy of ours, for little fingers.

Nice bright buttons to control all of her settings, stitched and glued on as I have a feeling Tilly might still think of buttons as a tasty treat.

And, on the back, her very own screen for viewing her shots! With a plastic cover, the photos are protected from being scrunched and dribbled onto.

The screen is open along one side to allow you to change out the photos and keep it interesting.

I flipped through a couple of magazines to find pictures of dogs to add. Tilly loves these. I imagine, if she had a real camera, she would only use it to photograph dogs!

It turns out this cheeky little Westie, from a dog food advert, is her favourite!

The flash on top serves as a little handle, so Tilly can happily carry her camera around. Perfectly lightweight for little hands!

If you've got a camera-grabbing little one, too, and are interested in making your own version, I've put together a kit, including all the felt, stuffing, buttons and instructions you need to whip one up in no time. You can find it over at my shop.

Now, Tilly and I are loading our pockets with dog treats and heading off to search the neighbourhood for friendly dogs to snap!
