The first real, real obsession with a princess that my girl Camila had was with Sofia the First. As soon as the movie came out on Disney Junior last year all she wanted was to watch it on repeat. Soon enough, she had learned the words to the main song in English (the soundtrack was only available in English) and had put together a choreography y toda la cosa. I still love watching this video we captured of her performingRead More ...

Birdie’s Playhouse‘s recently released CD, Muévete Como Los Animales, tiene TUMBAO! Birdie’s music will make your kids little feet and arms pounce, waddle, flap, or buzz across the floor depending on which animal is up front and center! My daughter loved her little laso (streamer) so much after dancing with it on and off all day that she had to place it right next to her bed before bedtime.
