Petit Zarafa : Play with languages

When a child is playing, it is the perfect time to learn. With this in mind, Julie Klear and Moulay Essakalli of Zid Zid Kids have created Petit Zarafa™, the first play-based multi-language learning subscription website for little ones ages 2 and up.

Petit Zarafa™ is still a project at this stage. It is the kind of product that we all parents have dreamt about: something playful, beautifully executed, user-friendly, that our kids will really engage with. It will offer hands-on activities in art, cooking, nature, music, imaginary play and numbers & letters, in several languages. The activities are easy to set up, easy to clean, and take anywhere from a few minutes, up to an hour. The first languages to be offered are: Arabic, Chinese, French, Spanish, and English as a second language.

Recent scientific research shows that children who speak two or more languages have multiple advantages:

They become smarter
They build multitasking skills
They make strong emotional ties with their parents
They are socially more insightful

To bring Petit Zarafa™ to life, Julie and Moulay need your financial help. They have worked hard to conceive and design it, they now need funds for the technical side to be finalised. Will you be part of this beautiful, unique, family adventure ?(it is not only a husand-and-wife thing…Julie and Moulay’s children Noor and Zack have also participated!).
