My wife got our two oldest grandaughters (10 and 12) each an inexpensive
point and shoot for this Christmas. They both enjoy looking at Granpa's
stereos so I am going to suggest that they do exactly that. Plus the shoot
and shift your weight to the other foot and shoot again. I will mount their
attempts on cards for viewing with either the Holmes viewer or the over and
under. Maybe they will take up the challange and persue the art. Good idea!
