A new children’s rights colouring book “Color it Rights” was developed by Cape Breton University Children’s Rights Centre’s to teach children aged 4-7 about their rights. Each picture in “Color it Rights” represents an article of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).
There are few resources suitable to teach pre-literate children about the UNCRC; “Color it Rights” is intended to help fill that gap.
This resource uses fun pictures to present the UNCRC and to convey the meanings of Convention articles to children with corresponding simplified language for teachers to read aloud. A teacher’s guide has also been designed to accompany the colouring book.
The production and distribution of this resource was funded by the Department of Canadian Heritage, Government of Canada.
