#KidsSuperSnaps- What A Child's Eyes Behold

#KidsSuperSnaps- What A Child’s Eyes Behold

When The Parent’s Jury asked me to participate in a serious yet FUN project I jumped in both feet first (cos I’m getting too old for head first).

Until the 24th July I will be posting photos on instagram, twitter and here. Photos taken by children up to the age of 12. Photos taken while shopping for FOOD.

I have to admit, I readily avoid taking children food shopping where possible. I have so many memories of being dragged tired and grumpy around the store as a kid while both my parents argued over how expensive food was. I recognise I can’t concentrate and it’s not fair on the kids. They will have many hours as an adult to do their time in the Grocery Shopping zone.

You can get involved with this fun project by handing your camera/phone to your child and letting them snap away (you may even get some peace while shopping). Post the photos to twitter via the hashtag #KidsSuperSnaps and share with others what you are doing.

Go to the Parent’s Jury site (link above) it clearly outlines the Who, What, Where, When and Why of this assignment.

If you are not a tweeter that’s more than ok too. Email the photos to me at thebumpiestpath@gmail.com put KidsSuperSnaps in the subject header. I will edit the photos (crop any shopper’s faces out etc). You may also post them to my Facebook page if you wish again use the #KidsSuperSnaps tag.

Perth Parents you have the remainder of this week to get involved since Perth is still on school holidays.

C’mon everyone, lets all jump on board with this one. Fun for the kids, an eye opener for us parents and great ‘evidence’ for a worthy cause. Wouldn’t shopping be so much easier if checkouts were lolly/sweet free!

Interesting, placed as a special right next to the checkout, during school holidays! #KidsSuperSnaps - 5yr old

Even pharmacy’s are guilty! Kids sweets placed too low for the adult eye, low enough for a bored toddler/child to be very excited about. #KidsSuperSnaps - 5yr old

Checkouts again! #KidsSuperSnaps – 5yr old

On your way out. #KidsSuperSnaps

Easy grab bags for any sized hand #KidsSuperSnaps

NOTE: All photos are taken by children without guidance or influence from adults. Any shoppers or employees faces accidentally photographed will be edited out or blurred for privacy reasons. Come join in and see what your child is attracted too while you shop.

If your child photographs ‘other’ items such as fruit, veggies etc, excellent please include those because they are a positive and highlight ‘Good News’.

HAPPY SNAPPING.

THANK YOU The Parent’s Jury for inviting The Bumpiest Path to be involved.

Love the Fruit Loop image. Much like our snaps, the stand alone displays had great appeal to the kids.

  I’m quite strict in shopping so I am loving seeing what the kids see, that I don’t see!

How interesting. It proves their shelf layout works, doesn’t it! Not sure if my 4 year old is up to the task, or if she’ll just take photos of her feet and my boobs as she normally does, but we’ll give it a go

  I was out when I read your comment…. and cracked up! I haven’t tried the 3 yr old yet but I reckon he knows how to use my phone, even though I’ve never shown him how. they are too darn smart these days. If you try,do let me know how you go. hahaha maybe a good blog post at what she does photo, regardless of the food topic!

That is so interesting! Isn’t it shameful what the pharmacies are doing??!
I love the Parent’s Jury. They’re doing so much good.
What a great project to be involved in!

  I think when a pharmacy is promoted health they should be ashamed of themselves. Admittedly I’m always drawn by the black jellybeans at hands reach at the register! nomnomnom

The supermarkets aren’t silly are they, I’ve noticed too at Kmart all the lollies at the checkout are down low, sneaky! Great idea, if I gave Izzy(2) my phone when we went shopping it would take me 3 hrs, she would be taking photos of everything!

  Alicia I took 3 kids today, each had a turn with my ‘phone’. I’m amazed at the ‘difference’ in choice of photos. You are right though, I had to take it back just to get out of the store #HappySnappers

I’d seen a few #KidsSuperSnaps and wondered what that was all about. Thanks for the explanation! It’s very interesting to see just what products are positioned at eye level for kids, marketing to kids doesn’t just happen on TV! … the proof is in the pics.
