Anything that helps make mealtime at my house more fun and cute gets an A+ in my book. Add to that the fact that these chic Alphabet Placemats are bilingual, double-sided, heavy duty, washable and can be personalized with vibrant colors and by adding your kid’s nombre. An ingenious mamá of three from Miami created a very special line of Alphabet Plates and Placemats that can be completely customized to make it a unique gift for your family or aRead More ...

Iwas pleasantly surprised by award-winning Whistlefritz‘ Spanish for Beginners DVD + CD series because I expected my 3-year-old daughter, whose first language is Spanish, to be a bit bored with it. I was wrong. Vanessa actually loved Adentro y Afuera‘s DVD’s main character, Fritzi, a cute little mouse used throughout the program to teach children Spanish vocabulary. She also loved the songs and actually got up and danced to “El Baile de las Manos.” The rhythm was contagious, I mustRead More ...

Our little Dora moved to the city, grew long hair, replaced her furry friends for new Explorer Girls BFFs and now wears a hot pink dress and bedazzling jewelry.  Ay, our niña is all grown up.  Next, she´ll be wanting a Quinceañera! The much discussed arrival of Mattel´s new Dora the Explorer franchise aimed at girls ages 5-8 is finally here after some eight months of waiting and guessing what kind of girl Dora would grow up to be. Well,Read More ...

Diego’s adventures in one little pack is what you can find in this toy- Extreme Launch and Rescue Pack.  It´s nice that it´s made of hard plastic so with the push of a button, you open the backpack and it stands up by itself turning into the Rescue Station. I also find that being made in this material it´s going to last a long time, it has already fallen several times but it´s survived just fine. It comes with aRead More ...

This giveaway is now closed. Congratulations to our winner: Melissa Davis! One of the parts I love the most about SpanglishBaby is all the discoveries I’ve made of things I would’ve never known existed otherwise–this has been particularly true in the area of books. As you probably know by now, back in July we launched our newest monthly series, which we call: ReadMe. We have teamed up with several Bilingual/Spanish children’s book publishers to bring you a review of aRead More ...

Creativity, culture, imagination and fun all in one little kit. I wished I would have found these make-your-own-piñata kits when my girl turned two.  Since she´s terrified of basically all types of piñatas after she witnessed the destruction of a Dora-shaped one, this one would have been a perfect way to involve her in the process and maybe that way she would have been more receptive to the idea. We could have picked the shape she wanted from the elephant,Read More ...

What a concept! An online toy retailer which sells dolls, books and products that actually represents this country’s growing multicultural population. In fact, check out Dolls Like Me‘s philosophy: “Children need to see the world the way it really is. They need to begin to develop global understanding, cultural awareness, and self-esteem as early as possible–and children of color need positive images that look like them.” I totally agree, don’t you? I first stumbled upon Dolls Like Me way backRead More ...

As soon as my son got his hands on Manny´s Repair Shop I was amazed at how he started hammering and using the screwdriver correctly and easily without my help. I didn’t explain how to use it, the parts are big enough and easy enough for him to do it himself. The toy comes with many parts to build lots of projects. It has six main project blueprints that Manny helps you go through step by step and it alsoRead More ...
