What you get
120 colouring pages
Animals, vehicles, fruit and food, dinosaurs, the sea, space, Bangladesh, and festivals such as Eid and Pohela Boishakh, all drawn for small hands with big shapes.
Colour that stays inside the lines
Tap to fill, three fat brushes, a rainbow brush, an eraser, stickers and undo. Pictures are kept as your child left them and can be saved to the gallery.
Colour by number and by letter
Twenty-four pictures to colour by number or by letter, in English or Bangla.
Music
Piano, xylophone and eight drums including a dhol and a tabla, with eight songs to play along with: the next key lights up and waits.
ABC and বর্ণমালা
A to Z, স্বরবর্ণ and ব্যঞ্জনবর্ণ, each with a picture word, read aloud and traced with a big crayon.
Numbers, shapes and colours
Numbers 1 to 20 in both languages to see, hear and tap to count, with shapes and colours to name.
Gentle games
Jigsaws, a shape puzzle, memory cards, odd one out, patterns, and first sums, each with three levels and no timers or losing.
Stars and stickers
Every finished activity earns a star, and stars bring stickers for the sticker book and the colouring pages.
For grown-ups
Rongtuli works offline, needs no account, and keeps everything your child makes on the device. There are no adverts while children play: the only advert is on the grown-ups’ page, behind a check that young children cannot pass, and it is child-directed and non-personalised.
Every learning, music and game activity is free, with 48 of the colouring pages. One optional purchase opens all 120 pages and removes the advert. There is no subscription.
