GoPros are one of the best cameras for kids. They are highly durable, especially newer models, so you don't have to worry about your kids dropping them from the top of the playground. They are very small, making them ideal for throwing in a bag and bringing on family trips, and small hands can easily operate them. And they are also easy to use and act as a point-and-shoot option. The downside is that they are a bit pricey for something to hand to your child, but as long as it doesn't get lost, it should stand up to almost anything they throw at it.
