13 Creative “Cocomelon” Photoshoot Ideas

If you’re the parent of a kid who’s a big fan of “Cocomelon,” you might want to commemorate their love of the show with a photoshoot!

If that sounds like you, read on. We at Peerspace share 13 creative “Cocomelon” photoshoot ideas to get you started.

1. Watermelon photoshoot

As you may have noticed, the “Cocomelon” logo features a watermelon shaped like a TV with a face. Our first “Cocomelon” photoshoot idea is to do a watermelon-themed photoshoot inspired by this logo! For more ideas on this theme, check out this adorable watermelon photoshoot by photographer Anna Isaiko.

We’d recommend holding this photoshoot outside, so if you’d like to rent a suitable outdoor space, check out Peerspace for options like this attractive garden space in Washington, D.C.

2. Ladybug photoshoot

Another key component of the “Cocomelon” logo that’s immediately noticeable is the little ladybug sitting on the watermelon in the upper left corner of the image. Another extremely cute theme for a photoshoot!

Dress your baby or toddler up in a sweet ladybug costume and take photos of them in the great outdoors, ideally, such as this Toronto garden studio. To quote one reviewer: “This is an amazing space. I highly recommend. I am definitely booking at this space again.”

3. Have your child enjoy a “Cocomelon” cake

Your kid is sure to be thrilled when you bake (or buy) them a Cocomelon-themed cake! Here’s a tutorial for making that “Cocomelon” cake from YouTuber BakeUp. (It’s the perfect choice for a birthday party, if you also happen to be planning for that soon!) Take photos of your child with the cake, and make sure to get some shots of them enjoying a few delicious bites, too.

After your shoot, throw a party using our sweet Cocomelon party ideas!

4. Primary colors photoshoot

One of the most notable visual elements of “Cocomelon” is how much their videos use bright primary colors. You can incorporate this into your photoshoot by using primary colors for your photoshoot backdrop, your child’s outfit, and any other elements (such as props) that you choose to include in your photos.

5. Playing with “Cocomelon” toys

Your child might already own some Cocomelon-themed toys. But if not, be sure to pick some up before executing this “Cocomelon” photoshoot idea!

Here are a bunch of “Cocomelon”toys that you can purchase from Kohl’s. We bet your son/daughter will be really excited to receive them, and as they’re enthusiastically playing with them, you can take some sweet photos.

6. “Cocomelon” JJ outfit photoshoot

JJ is the main character of Cocomelon, a baby with a little lock of blonde hair who typically wears a bright blue patterned onesie. You can dress your baby up like JJ from “Cocomelon” quite easily – here’s one of many onesies designed to look like JJ’s that you can purchase.

Once you’ve done this, it’s time for the photoshoot! Your kid can act out their favorite “Cocomelon” songs or just hang out while you take some candid photos.

7. Invite your child’s friends

Another one of our great “Cocomelon” photoshoot ideas is to invite over some of your child’s friends who are also fans of the series and have them participate in the photoshoot! You can combine this idea with any of the other ones on this list, too. We’ll bet the parents of your child’s friends will be delighted to see the lovely photos you take of their kids.

8. “Cocomelon” sing-along

Use one of the “Cocomelon” videos that’s edited specifically to be a sing-along (like this one for “The Wheels on the Bus,” which is so popular it has more than 40 million views!). Then, ask your child to participate in a sing-along and take photos as they’re doing so! You can sing along, too, and it’ll also be a bonding moment – an additional benefit of this “Cocomelon” photoshoot idea.

9. “Cocomelon” dance party

This is an especially good idea for groups of kids, whether they’re your own children or your child and their friends.

A lot of kids love “Cocomelon” because they really enjoy the dancing element, in addition to the catchy tunes. Dancing along to their favorite “Cocomelon” videos is an opportunity for them to get active and have a fun time while practicing their coordination and rhythm, and it’s a chance for you to take some ridiculously cute pics!

10. Use a “Cocomelon” backdrop

This idea comes to us from YouTuber Linapopcreations, who explains how to make your own “Cocomelon”-themed photoshoot backdrop in this video.

It involves lots of bright colors as well as bunches of balloons. Be sure to take a look at the video to see just how great your photoshoot backdrop could look!

11. Baking “Cocomelon” cupcakes

Does your child love to help you cook and bake in the kitchen? Plan a candid photoshoot where you spend quality time baking “Cocomelon” cupcakes while a photographer (whether it’s someone you hired or a family member/friend) takes plenty of sweet photos.

Here’s a helpful guide to making Cocomelon cupcakes from YouTuber Happy Baker Delights to get you started.

12. Check out other “Cocomelon” photoshoots for inspiration

As you’re planning your own “Cocomelon” photoshoot, it’s a great idea to look at some other photoshoots with this theme to get inspired. It’s easy enough to find “Cocomelon”-themed photoshoots with just a quick search on Google!

13. Add in “Cocomelon” characters using Photoshop

For any of your photoshoot ideas, one way you can get really creative with the photos that result is using the photo editor of your choice (Photoshop is the standard, but there are other free ones out there such as GIMP that would also work well) to add in characters from the “Cocomelon” show.

If you don’t know how to do this yourself, ask a more tech-savvy friend or hire someone with the skills to do so. Your child is sure to be amazed by the final result, seeing themself with their favorite characters that they’d only ever seen on screen!
