If you want to start indoctrinating your kids early, then you might want to check out the Anagram toy camera. I'm sure we don't need to tell you what it's modeled after.
From the company that designed the Anapad, the analog version of the iPad for kids, the Anagram combines a retro, vintage camera feel with the Instagram logo. It's made from wood, cork, and leather, with no buttons, lights, noises, or batteries.
Our question, though, is whether it helps, hurts, or doesn't matter that the camera imitates what some might call an online obsession. Will kids love the fact that they can imitate parents who indulge in Instagram-ery? Or does it limit kids' imaginations if their toys so closely resemble adult interests?
We'd like to know what you think. Yea or nay on introducing kids early to things like Instagram?

it is cute but ultimately I can't see my children being interested in it other than to chuck at each other's head.
I don't care too much about the whole branding thing in this case, it's an obsession, yes, but it's not a product. I'd prefer my kid to be obsessed with Instagram than Dora the Explorer I think. It's a cute toy but most like SARAKENOBI I don't think most kids would like it. Mine definitely wouldn't play with it.
As a non-smartphone/iPad/iPod touch user, this just looked like a chunky wooden camera to me. Of course after reading the second sentence in the post, I had to look it up. So if you're wondering, too, apparently it's the Instagram logo.
Nay.
Ultimately I feel like this is a display object for hipsters' homes rather than a toy. I can imagine it on a stack of Urban Outfitters catalogs in someone's expedit, can't you? In my toddler's room - probably not.
