phrasr and bookr
These sites utilizing flickr photos are just fun!
After you have entered a phrase, phrasr will pull a photo from flickr for each word in the phrase. For each word, you can change the photo, selecting from among the suggestions they provide, or choose to have no photo for that word. When you are finished, phrasr puts together a flash slideshow of the photos you have chosen with the phrase, which you can view again or email to someone (perhaps yourself) if you wish. I don't know how long it will be available, but here is an example using a Mahatma Gandhi quote.
bookr uses photos to create a flash book. You can place text on each page and then do a flicker tag search for photos to illustrate the text. This is easy enough kids could do it, younger ones with help spelling the tags/search terms. Here's a sample book I created about clouds; to turn a page, click on its bottom corner.
If you'd like to see other Pimpampum toys, check out the Pimpampum Labs. The 4 x 4 memory game would be fun for kids.
