Take hyper-real pictures with your scanner! 
This image is an example of what happens when you use your photo scanner with three dimensional items. Place a group of small toy frogs on the scanner glass. It's that easy. (Leave the scanner lid up and frogs' backs down.) If you missed the how-to section of Scanner Magic be sure to see

Scanner photography is perfect for any projects using photography ... from pictures for t-shirts and mugs to photos for albums and magazine articles. Writing idea. Write a report explaining the basic parts and operation of a photo scanner and how it works. Tell about the differences between a film camera, a digital camera and a flatbed photo scanner. Wrap it all up with sharing some of your own scans.
Photo Scanner Images BecomeHyper-real Photos!
This scanner photo image was created from simply arranging crayons on the flatbed scanner glass. So easy to create. The 3-D effect is amazing! To me, it feels like you can grab that blue crayon. Anything colorful makes a good subject ...
including veggies!
As with any scout project, get your counselor's input and approval before you proceed. Then create your photo scanner images!
