The new Polaroid PoGo is the hottest new phone accessory! Why? For a few reasons. Kids love it, and because you can finally print all those pictures clogging up your cell phone's memory! But also, because it utilizes Zink technology. What is Zink? Zink basically is short for "Zero Ink"; Polaroid uses thermal technology to print photos on a tiny printer about the size of your wallet. Using the search terms "Polaroid Zink" through Google, you can find out a lot more about "Zink technology", and also, what makes it so awesome, -not just for us, but also for the environment. So grab your PoGo! Take it, print it, peel it, stick it! There are millions of creative crafts you can do with PoGo photos, but for starters, here's a few we thought of:

Baby Blocks:

Is there a baby in the house? Take a few photos of your little cutie, or of mommy and daddy. Next, print them with PoGo. Using big, soft baby blocks, peel off your PoGo photos, and stick them on the sides of the blocks. You might have to trim them a little afterwards, so the there aren't any edges. This helps avoid paper cuts, as well as premature peeling of the pictures, and the sticking of them elsewhere. When you're all done, your baby has a one of a kind set of blocks. Babies, toddlers, and even bigger kids will love playing with their own personalized toys!

Refrigerator Magnets:

Kids, adults, and toddlers will love Pogo photo magnets. After taking some snapshots of your relatives, friends, or kids, print them out with PoGo. Peel, and stick them on the backs of magnets, then send them to other friends and relatives. Your parents will love having family photos right there on the fridge, and your kids will love being able to move pictures of themselves around on the surface.

Scrapbooking:

It's now so much easier to have fun scrapbooking. Instead of those huge, unwieldy scrapbooks, with cellophane covers, now all you need is a blank journal, or a nice notebook. Use PoGo to fully document a road trip, vacation, or even a day at school, and then come back, peel, and place your photos in your smaller and more convenient scrapbook. If you get a lined journal, you can even decorate it with colored pens, and markers, or add little descriptions and captions of the photos you took!
