25 Gemini Nano Banana Prompts for Kids

I recently found something that completely changed how I edit my kids’ photos. Google’s new Nano Banana image model in Gemini can turn your regular kid photos into something special. You don’t need expensive software or editing skills anymore.

Here’s how it works: go to gemini.google.com or open your gemini app, start a new chat, upload your child’s photo, and paste any prompt from below. If you want better results, include your kid’s age in the prompt.

I tested 25 different prompts, and here’s what worked.

The Nano Banana model handles these edits surprisingly well. You’ll get better results if you’re specific about what you want. Copy the prompts exactly as written, add the age if needed, and see what happens. Some might need a few tries to get right, but that’s normal.

Give them a try and see which ones work best for your photos.
