So I loved the idea of creating our own messages in Spanish on the large conversation hearts by Brach’s pictured above. I figured that it’d be not only fun, but it’d be a great Spanish vocabulary lesson for my kids. First, I showedRead More ...

Whether you call it Valentine’s Day, Día de los Enamorados or Día del Amor y la Amistad, February 14th is almost here.

And what better way to do that than through books! Some of the ones on this list are strictly about Valentine’s Day, while others are just aboutRead More ...

I have a very curious four-year-old bilingual boy at home who is eager to learn his letters and numbers. He traces them with his fingers, and has learned the letters M, P, and O. “M” for of course, Matías (his name), Mami and… Mono, “P” for Papi and “O” for Oma (what he calls his abuelita). But here is the real kicker, I only taught these to him two weeks ago when Munchkin, the children’s safety and learning toys brand,Read More ...

That’s why apps are a great choice for the 1-4 age group – affordable and educational fun that is constantly offering something new! Our latest discovery is this Animals in Spanish app from Kandoobi. I am impressed with the range of animals included, given that many animal-centered apps are limited to the most popular ones. I even learned aRead More ...
