Put up a light -tight tent with a pinhole on one side, and a cork board
on the other side. Give a group of kids plain paper to compose their
picture, cap the pinhole and give the kids the enlarging paper to tack
to the cork board. Empty the tent for the exposure, collect the
pictures and process them...
Think it might work?

I am the coordinator of the Bellevue Art Museum Fair Kidsfair in
Bellevue WA. This fair is a long time tradition and is always well
represented by the photographic world (some pinhole, not as much as I
would like). I would like to include in the kids area a camera
obscura (pinhole) area. The cameras would be built by kids of all
ages, so they need to be as basic as possible. I can't eat enough
oatmeal to furnish them all with oatmeal cans and can only gather so
many toilet paper rolls. Last year we serviced about 300 kids. Does
anyone have any ideas? It needs to be cheap, easy and fairly quick
(15-30 minutes. I have volunteers to start some of the projects if
need be.)
p.s. I had 65 students outside on WWPD this year using the cameras
they built in class the week before. The paper negatives turned out
great and the kids really learned a lot about light and photography.
