Camera recommendations for 10 year old

Can anyone recommend a camera suitable for a 10 year old? Ideally under £150?

She doesn't have a phone and won't be getting one for a couple of years but we're looking for something which might give her the fun of a phone camera but also let her practice photography skills.

She is getting a chromebook for her birthday - mostly for homework but she loves creating pictures, videos and presentations on Canva so we think she would like to edit her own photos. She loves art and being creative.

We're looking for:

Ideally a digital camera where she can transfer pictures onto the chromebook.

If it also had instant printing capabilities, that would be fine. But definitely not an instant-only camera. She'd use up all the prints in 10 minutes and bankrupt us buying more film!

Easy enough for a novice photographer to get to grips with.

Decent quality images in case she wants to have them printed.

Maybe some in built 'fun' features like filters.

I liked the look of the Kodak Smile 2 in 1 until I realised it doesn't have a screen to review the picture you've taken.

Thank you!

My DD (13) has the Instax mini Liplay which may fit the brief. It’s a Polaroid/digital camera hybrid so you can print off photos instantly but also have the ability to review the photos and deleting so it doesn’t print everything instantly. My DD can also link it to her phone and print off photos on her phone which is quite a nice feature. I wouldn’t say the photos are amazing quality but for her needs it’s fine.

I wiped an old phone and gave that to my daughter at this age after spending a while looking for a better option.

We got our Dd the Nikon Coolpix when she was younger (maybe about 8) and she has come back to it again at 16. I’m not sure if you would find a new one now but refurbished ones are available.
