Tweens are doing amazing things with their phone and novice filmmakers will be able to make smoother and more professional-looking content with a gimbal. Automated models are available with multiple shooting options.
Anytime a tween wants to share a photo memory, they can do so with a mini photo printer for their smartphone.
Consider a digital notebook for the tween that likes to write. Prose can be erased making them reusable.
