learning to write the letters of the Arabic alphabet for kids

We have found a fantastic app for kids to learn how to write the letters of the Arabic alphabet on the App Store, but also on Google Play. This educational kids app has been developed by Alifbaba Education.
Kids come across some animals at first in this app, who will slowly introduce the Arabic language and their writing to them, without over-straining them.

Fox, Owl, Rabbit and Crocodile

All the different animals live together under the same roof of an oriental residence. Even a dolphin is splashing happily in a bath tub. Each window can be selected and will lead you to the following learning game.

Learning the Arabic writing with a kids app

Just as the educational apps which teach you the Japanese writing and characters, which we have also tested, those apps are also good for learning the lively Arabian characters.
You basically get the hang of it pretty quickly actually, whilst following the characters or letters with your finger or with an capacitive pen.

Writing, drawing, listening, turning!

Each letter and animal name is named via Arabian speech output, both in the mode where kids have to write the letters and also in the coloring in mode, which is offered to kids as a reward. There’s also another area available, where kids will need to spell a word in Arabic with spinning wheels. You can change really easily between those three areas, as the user interface is really well-considered and child-friendly!

Here’s a quote of the iTunes description:

There is no nicer and more effective way of learning the letters of the Arabic alphabet. Designed for children (and adults) from age 4 and up. The beautifully illustrated app rouses children’s curiosity, stirs their imagination and turns learning into great fun! The Alifbaba animals all live together in a wonderful house in which each has its own room. Would you like to visit them? How nice!

As it is playing with the animals, your child will learn to recognize the sounds and the various endings of Arabic characters. They can then use this knowledge to spell words on their own. In addition your child will be able to write characters, and draw and color in animal pictures. And it all ends in a dancing party with the animals in the patio! In short, a complete and highly instructive app that really delivers what you expect from it. Intended for the children of parents who love the Arabic language.
