What is Jigsaw Puzzle: Letter Baa about?

Jigsaw Puzzle: Letter Baa is an Islamic jigsaw game for children aged 4 to 9, named after baa, the second letter of the Arabic alphabet.

Children fit the pieces together to complete the picture. There are four levels of difficulty, so a child can start with an easy puzzle, move up to a harder one as they get better, and see how well they can do. The cover shows two smiling children's faces next to the name of the letter.

Baa is written as a small bowl shape with one dot underneath, and it makes the sound "b". It is a special letter for Muslims, because it is the first letter of Bismillah, "In the name of Allah", the words that open the Qur'an and that Muslims say before eating and before many other things. As the picture comes together, parents can show their child the letter, say its sound together, and think of words that start with it.

Children learning to read the Qur'an meet baa very early on, and a puzzle is a relaxed way to keep it in mind. A child who plays more than one of the Miraj letter puzzles can start to put the letters in order.

Jigsaw Puzzle: Letter Baa is a Miraj original.
