Building a Lego camera with my 8-year-old son meant having to explain what a Polaroid is!

8 year old boy with Lego OneStep SX-70 camera.

Building the Polaroid OneStep SX-70 from the Lego Ideas range with my eight-year-old was a lot of fun – and it also gave us a chance to have a bit of a discussion about cameras before Gen Alpha's understanding.

My son is, of course, used to cameras around the house but, given my specialities, they tend to be digital and often drones capable of flying. Lego is a bit more of analog experience. You might associate Lego with kids but the brand has long since moved into adulthood, in part because of the 'Ideas' range, in which creators are invited to submit set designs and they are voted on by fans.
