little girls

Small female children

Little girls are female children, typically from toddlerhood through about age eleven or twelve.

The phrase emphasizes youth and often carries connotations of innocence or vulnerability: Little girls played jump rope on the sidewalk.

It can sound patronizing when applied to older females: Don't treat me like a little girl.
