How to get kids to smile

[DavidTO]

Here's an easy DIY project (http://photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00CSnG) that can make kids smile for your photos. :D

I admit that I was a bit disappointed that it does not eject a piece of candy when you hit the shutter.

Maybe it will on a Canon?

And for those who feel 'silly' with a Gary Fong flash diffuser on their camera we now can have Bert and Ernie!!! Actually, this might losen up a few stiff adults, too!!! :rofl

While I don't ever *try* to get kids to cheese for the camera, this could do wonders for word of mouth. "that photographer with Big Bird sticking out of her camera, she was a hoot!" :haha

Some children's photographers have been know to wear funny hats and/or funny costumes as well............... Might match the PEZ dispenser gadget.

:rofl Good trick! (I use them for other photography projects (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2114189)).

Just don't slice and dice the feet of a valuable PEZ dispenser (hint, a really valuable one won't have feet). See me first if you dig up an old PEZ from your attic.
