Giraffian is full of activities for very young children. The biggest part of this site is the Children's Illustrated Picture Dictionary, which has simple, clear definitions for several hundred common words. You might also be interested in the much larger and more extensive Children's photographic dictionary, which is an excellent learning resource and makes a great quick cross-cultural reference too.

For people expecting a baby, this site now has a collection of baby names that you can search by rhyme and number of syllables, as well as by the usual first letter and meaning. If you are horrified by some of the modern baby names in circulation at the moment, check out the bad baby names list.

There is also a collection of the funny things kids say, recorded here for posterity. Kids say the darndest things! Help us collect more by adding some of the things your own children have said!

If you like the online Alphabet book, you can now buy it in printed form in a 12x14cm format for only $AU5 plus postage.

There are some online children's activities that parents and kids can do together. You can teach your child to tell the time, count, and much more! There are also a range of maths exercises to help kids learn basic arithmetic and their times tables.

Parents haven't been forgotten either. There are some pretty rendered e-cards to send to your friends, and some helpful tips on how to save money and water around your home.
