Space Alphabet

In honor of Sputnik 1, 50 years later (on Oct. 4th), I present to you all a nice little gem of a book I got off of ebay about a year ago: Space Alphabet (1964) by Irene Zacks. Pictures by Peter P. Plasencia. It's the entire book. I normally don't do this, but it's just too good not to share it all.

JBOOK: [kokuyotoipogurahui] 

It is the strange vision unrestricted building block where as for “[toipogurahui]”, when the part is rearranged, the English word becomes Chinese character of the same meaning, becomes the picture. While rearranging small and large various parts, playing pleasantly, it can cultivate the creativity of the children by experiencing the work of producing new shape. The material uses the Buna material where the Hokkaido product is selected, has become the completion where you can feel feeling good quality in material feeling such as touch. Not only the child way, also the adult moves the hand personally, by the fact that you think, everyone and others creativity (the flash) can forge pleasantly.

"The Doodle Association Game" - A classic Bearskinrug Article.

Last week, in an effort to kill some time, Kim and I invented a little game. Basically, it's just Word Association with doodles instead of boring ol' words.

Kids' Corner: Website Usability for Children (Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox)

Millions of children already use the Internet, and millions more are coming online each year. Many websites specifically target children with educational or entertainment content, and even mainstream websites are adding "kids' corner" sections for children -- either as a public service or to build brand loyalty from an early age.

Every second child between the ages of five and six has a very special playmate: a computer. Computer software manufacturers and providers for kids' websites make sure that their products are educational. At the same time, optimal usability should not be neglected, as kids do not only have a mind of their own, but also specific needs and requirements of an interactive system. In a study, User Interface Design GmbH (UID) now defines rules for usability engineering for and with kids.
