Both “Un beso en mi mano” and “The Kissing Hand” are in heavy rotation at our house. It’s one of those great, great stories. And I love making things in the kitchen with the kids – so many gentle lessons – and of all the kids our 3-1/2 year old is the one who loves it the most. And, he just started preschool half days. I can’t wait to do make these with him!
Thank you so much for the idea!
I would also second your statement that reading children’s books in Spanish helps the adult as well as the child. I’m not a native speaker and a lot of the vocabulary that I knew was related to my job, so I’ve learned a lot of really useful new words this way. Most importantly, it’s helped me to just feel a lot more comfortable and natural when speaking.
In fact, I’m looking forward to the time when my son knows how to read, and I can read aloud to him, or have him read things I wrote, and have him correct me! I am sure his Spanish will surpass mine, but by sharing books together we can have something that we can continue working on together in Spanish as he gets older too.

My son truly enjoyed his special time with me as we made these together and read.
Thanks for the heads up on Shine on Fridays.

My son has The Kissing Hand and I think it’s probably one of my two favorite books that he owns {the other being God Gave Us You}. Such a sweet little story…I love these treats to go along with it! Would you consider sharing them here?
