Two creative devices that print what children imagine
According to myFirst, Insta magiCam is a thermal-print camera built to turn children's curiosity into discovery and creativity. Its Snap and Discover feature lets children explore what they photograph through different perspectives, from science to storytelling and humour. Snap and Ask encourages follow-up questions, so a simple "What's that?" can turn into a longer journey of discovery.
The camera also includes Magic Styles, which lets children reimagine their photos, and Voice-to-Image, which turns spoken ideas into creations. Built-in thermal printing brings the results off the screen so children can hold, color, decorate and share them.
Insta magiBox is aimed at children whose imagination runs ahead of their ability to write or draw. The company says Voice-to-Image turns spoken ideas into illustrations in different art styles, while Voice-to-Story creates connected four-scene illustrated stories. Printing is ink-free and thermal, so children can again hold, color, decorate and share what they make.
CareSip adds a fingerprint lock to the water bottle
CareSip is a water bottle with a fingerprint-controlled lock that secures the entire lid. According to myFirst, it allows access for up to 20 approved users.
When drinks reach 133°F or above, the bottle can remain locked until a parent approves access. Parents can also manage access through the myFirst Circle app. The company describes this as providing protection without limiting independence.
The wider 2026 lineup
Alongside the three lead products, myFirst highlighted other devices in its 2026 range:
- Fone M2: a 4G smartwatch with parent-approved communication, location tracking, SOS and Class Mode, described as a simpler starting point for a child's first connected experience.
- Watch F1: a wellbeing-focused watch that tracks physical activity, heart rate and sleep, with parents able to view data in the app. The company cites its lightweight design, long battery life and IP68 water resistance.
- Camera Play and Camera Play Plus: devices combining photography, Full HD video, music, stories, drawing and play in an ad-free, enclosed environment, without access to the wider internet.
- ViewTalkie: a walkie-talkie with video, letting children see and talk to each other during nearby play without a smartphone.
What it means for families
The launch gives parents more options for introducing technology at different ages, from enclosed camera devices for younger children to a 4G smartwatch with parent-approved contact. The company says the common thread is not simply adding more technology to children's lives, but using it to support how children naturally discover, create and grow. In its words, technology is there "to support childhood, not define it."
myFirst was founded in 2017 and says it operates in over 36 countries. The announcement did not include pricing or availability details for the new products.
