SB Finds : Toys & Games

Matías and I are back, and this time we were asked by Fisher Price to review their Laugh & Learn Bilingual Puppy’s Piano. I didn’t expect it to be a big hit from the start, but it sure was! The piano even went to bed with him and another day when he saw that I was upset, he even played me a few tunes to cheer me up saying “yo hago música para tí”. How can you resist that?

I love toys that are bilingual.  Not only do they provide a chance for kids to learn, but they also validate the benefits of speaking both Spanish and English. My kids just love knowing that they can speak and understand the languages of the toy. My boys were thrilled with the Laugh & Learn Puppy’s Playhouse.  They had so much fun pushing different buttons and spinning the wheel on his doghouse to discover the different sounds and songs it made.Read More ...

It is an incredible opportunity to be able to introduce our niños to new technology, but there’s always a little bit of worry that comes with it. I’m sure you know the feeling: you download an app for your kids and then watch them like a hawk, paranoid that they’ll damage your phone or tablet while they play.

As my boys get older, they’re more into books, elaborate building sets and Mama’s iPad, and have outgrown the babyish Spanish-“speaking” toys of old.  That’s why I liked Ingenio’s Sounds Amazing cards.  There are fifty double-sided flashcards, grouped into categories (our favorites were Transportation and Musical Instruments), which include a picture of an object (such as an ambulance), information about the object in English and in Spanish, and a bar code.  Scan the bar code with the included wand, andRead More ...

  Once your kids start to fathom what cerca and lejos mean, your next step is to expand the concepts by helping them understand where they fit in the world (literally). The Smart Play USA Floor Map Puzzle by ingenio can help you do just that. Along with cute symbols for each state, the puzzle includes Spanish names for many states and bodies of water. It is the perfect size – big enough to read easily, but won’t cover theRead More ...
