Great idea! The optics on the Kodak dosposables are the best, as I found out when I worked at Kodak.
Disposable cameras are recycled. It film processors get good money for them.
Well, you could get a disposable camera; can't get much simpler than that...
Disposables are bad. Nowadays we are living in a world where using plastic packaging and disposables are increasingly considered a crime against future generations.
Give this 5-year old a light fixed-focus camera without any controls. A Minolta x-700 is much too heavy and complicated.
And please constraint yourself imposing your hobby on other persons.
For a 5-year old? A too complex and delicate camera. At least wait until the child has entered school age and learned to read.What about a Speed Graphic?
Let us know how things go. Every child is different, I know, but a resume on her reactions, questions etc is still useful for others who have grandkids of the same and even slightly older age and might be considering something similarI picked up 2 instax minis over lunch, pink and blue. My coworker, SuperMom, has offered to wrap them all nice for me. Thanks for your help!

This is so great, after a few packs of Instax, have her try the Minolta. The Instax mini is about equivalent to 6x9 medium format. You might want to keep your eyes open for a nice Fuji 690 GW III, put it away for when she turns 13What a great idea to make this useful for others. How thoughtful of you!

Beautiful !
Yep, you are correct. I have the wide. So start looking for a nice 645 rangefinderMore like 6 x 4.5.
Instax mini image area is only 46mm x 62mm; cameras are nicely sized.
Instax wide image area is 62mm x 99mm; but cameras are huge.
