Introducing our interactive photo books for kids
Words by MyFUJIFILM
Did you know that photo books can be a great way for kids to learn about the world around them?
Spotting familiar faces, places, and little everyday moments helps them build their vocabulary, spark memories, and even boost their sense of self. And the best part? When you flick through the pages together — chatting, pointing, and labelling what they see — it turns into a fun, interactive learning experience.
Whether it’s a gift for your little one, a niece or nephew, or your best mate’s baby, a personalised photo book designed for little hands (and big imaginations) can offer a cute way to look back on early moments and bring the world around them to life.
Here’s all you need to know about our photo books for children. What makes our photo books for kids stand out?
Let’s be honest, little ones can be wonderfully, adorably… messy. Sleek and elegant softcover photobooks don’t stand a chance against toddlers. Soggy, chewed corners and mucky handprints are inevitable over your lovely gloss or lustre finish. And if a couple of pages get some crayon embellishment, you know where to find the artist.
That’s why we created a photo book designed for tiny tornadoes in the making. These books are built to last — and to survive snack-time disasters — all while letting your little one recognise, reflect, and have fun.
So, how have we made our photo books for children, well — child-proof? Tough pages for tiny hands
Each kid-friendly page is made from ultra-sturdy 1.2mm thick cardboard. It’s completely safe for little hands to grab, flip, and explore. Rounded edges mean no nasty paper cuts. And thanks to a wipe-clean laminate layer, those inevitable sticky fingerprints? Gone in seconds with a quick swipe of a cloth.
A satisfyingly squishy cover
Say hello to the soft, padded foam cover. It’s designed to handle rough and tumble play — whether it’s being gazed at lovingly, squeezed, or dropped. It’s also delightfully tactile, making it ideal for bringing a multi-sensory element to looking through pictures.
Four sizes to suit every adventure
As with our other photo books, from our pocket-sized Mini Photo Books to our Premium Hardcover Photo Books, you can also add beautiful designs to your child’s memory book. Our easy-to-use photo book templates make adding a set of frames, stickers, backgrounds, and even your own handwriting a breeze.
We have a whole host of design templates to choose from, but there are a couple of stand-out options when creating a photo book for a little one.
Baby Story is bright and whimsical, featuring cute animals, hearts, and tiny footprints. It’s ideal for families introducing their little ones to their first photo album.
Then there’s Playful Jungle. This template is bursting with cheeky sloths, toucans, and leafy patterns — perfect for toddlers who are in their ‘roaring like a lion’ phase.
Fully customise and design your photo book from scratch. Either way, you can create a fun, durable keepsake that your children will use. Baby Template
Capture your baby's beautiful moments

Children love looking at photos. And a photo book made just for them? That’s something special. It’s a way to help them recognise familiar faces, remember happy moments, and learn new words as they point, giggle, and ask a million questions. The action of turning the pages is also helpful for developing fine motor skills.
Everyday moments. Big milestones. Favourite things. They all deserve a spot in their book. It’s something they’ll reach for again and again — at bedtime, on car journeys, and anywhere in between.
Not sure where to start? Here are some ideas to bring their book to life. When you’re tiny, there are always lots of grown-ups around — keeping track of them all takes time. Making a photo book is a great way to help babies and toddlers learn family names and develop their vocab. It can also help foster a sense of connection with the people around them.
Keep it simple with one photo per page, each showing a different person, from Mummy, Daddy, and Nana to Pickles the cat. Our handy design tool makes adding a caption stating each person’s name easy. Go for nice big lettering in a clear, colourful, and easy-to-read font. When birthday celebrations roll around, it’s the perfect opportunity to put a photo book together. Why not add photos from your child’s past year? It might include those earliest days and sleepy night feeds for the baby turning one. Or it could feature their first day at nursery, primary school, or ballet class.
It doesn’t just have to be big milestones, either. Add in snaps from trips to the park, playtime with friends, or quiet cuddle moments. Fancy getting super creative? Make your child the star of their very own photo storybook. It might involve a woodland exploration, a ‘time travelling’ adventure filled with photos of their favourite dress-up costumes, or a tea party with VIP toys.
Taking the photos can be a lovely project to do with your child, and it’ll create a unique tale to read again and again.
Take a look at our guide to creating your own children’s storybook for more inspiration and some handy tips. Other content ideas for your child’s memory book include:
A gallery of their artwork — you can scan in pictures of their drawings, paintings, and other creations. (It might even free up some space on the fridge).
Photos of their favourite things to help develop object vocabulary — you could include pictures of a much-loved teddy, the dressing-up outfit they refuse to take off, or the collection of pine cones they’ve become especially fond of.
Pictures from exciting days out, like their first holidays, a day at the zoo, and splashing in the sea.
