What is Colouring In: Numbers 0, 1, 2 about?
Colouring In: Numbers 0, 1, 2 is a colouring game for children aged 4 to 9 in which they colour in a picture from the Miraj library, on the theme of the Arabic numbers 0, 1 and 2.
Children choose their colours and fill in the picture, trying out whatever they like until they are happy with it. When the picture is finished, they can take a screenshot of their masterpiece and share it with family and friends. The cover shows three children carrying giant pencils, ready to colour.
Colouring is a calm activity that many young children enjoy, and it helps them practise holding their attention, choosing colours and working carefully. On a screen, there is no mess, and a child can start again as many times as they like.
The numbers give parents something to talk about as the child colours. In Arabic, zero is sifr, one is wahid and two is ithnayn. Many Muslim children hear Arabic every day, in the Qur'an and in their prayers, and learning to count in it is a small, useful step. Parents can count to two in Arabic with their child, then look for pairs of things around the house.
Colouring In: Numbers 0, 1, 2 is a Miraj original.
