En Japanese learning aid


A new bag of fruits toy ($5.40) bought today for the kids to learn Japanese. The activity idea was from the Saturday class attended at The Little Neuro Tree. Fruits of different colour is sorted into matching bowl.

Kiiru banana means yellow banana in Japanese.
Aka ringo means red apple
Aoringo means green apple, ao actually means blue, but this is a special case when it is used with ringo.
Murasaki budou means purple grape, the Japanese version of grapes sounds like Mandarin version right?
Orenji is having the same sound with orange. The name of the fruit and the name of colour sounds just like English. In terms of written form, it is written in Katagana.

En is happily playing with the toys. She is slowly getting the concept of colour in different language.
