We are so psyched to see Buster in his action packed Chile adventure, and now the fun can continue at home with the “Vamos Buster” activity sheets. These activities are perfect for teaching our kids about the geographic and the cultural Chile, but also to bridge the distance by emphasizing the similarities they might have with children living in Chile.

We seem to be a group of individuals, a group of mothers, who have at the heart of our parenting endeavors to make sure our bebit@s learn another language, specifically Spanish. We are, in my opinion, a very distinct group of parents though, because we also want to makeRead More ...
