Oatmeal Box Camera

I would be remiss not to show a site of at least one oatmeal box camera. This is the first camera most people make. Once I taught pinhole to 5 year olds and had to eat 10 boxes of oatmeal to have enough boxes, I thought I would never run out of oatmeal. And yeah I know I could have just dumped it out, but that would be wasteful, and besides oatmeal is good for you. Perhaps the best part of an oatmeal box camera is that the film plane is curved and so there is this really wacky perspective that happens!
