We’ve managed to gather a decent collection of the Barbie DVDs the last few years and I’m okay with that. Every DVD comes with a Spanish language option, so it’s actually been one of the movie series she’s watched the most. Not only do we have them because of the Spanish-language option that’s so important to us, but also because the movies always carry a positive message about friendship and being true to oneself.  My girl can also use herRead More ...

As a teacher, I found these 3D Magnetic alphabet and number cards very appealing. They are very sturdy and durable and feature bright, fun colors (great for kid-appeal!). I love the way they identify the number as well as provide the number-to-object correspondence. When the child moves the card, he can identify the quantity that corresponds with the number on the card. As a parent, I knew my child would find these magnetic cards fun because of the colorful illustrationsRead More ...

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 ...

This is one announcement that has us incredibly excited and hopeful that the mission we’ve all embarked in together to teach Spanish to our children is being taken seriously by those companies we rely on for educational and entertainment resources for them. We’re thrilled to be PBS KIDS Parent Ambassadors and be able to break the news to you that they just announced more than 25 PBS KIDS games are now available in Spanish. Join the Cat in the Hat, CuriousRead More ...

September 15th marks the start of Hispanic Heritage Month — a month-long celebration to honor the history, cultures and traditions of U.S. citizens with heritage from countries in Latin America and Spain. The dates of September 15 through October 15th were chosen because several countries celebrate their independence day during those weeks: México, Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua. The celebration also includes October 12th, known as Columbus Day. Of course, I always like to say thatRead More ...
