Try taking photos of your favorite toy at different places!
Here are some ideas of places to take pictures at:
Can your toy move its arms or legs? Try making it look like your toy is doing something at each place. Like eating in the kitchen or playing outside.
Who is in your family? Try taking pictures of people in your family. Do you have a pet? How about a brother or sister? An aunt, uncle, grandma or grandpa?
Take a picture of them making all kinds of faces!
Which picture what your favorite?
