Our friends at Lanugo have put together this Christmas coloring book for us to share with all of you. The Lanugo Christmas coloring book celebrates our cultural traditions during this time of year. Inside you’ll find los tres Reyes Magos, a page dedicated to el villancico “El Burrito Sabanero,” and much more!

Color the Cartoon: Farm is a fun interactive app for toddlers. It’s an easy-to-use virtual coloring book. Learn the words for each farm animal as a cute gatito walks through the farm in search of the cow and her milk. Each time the kitten reaches a new animal, you must “color” it in to activate it. The kitten has a conversation with each animal and then continues on his way.

On each screen, kids can also look for hidden background objects, such as the tractor, and tap them to see and hear the effects.

This app is a great one for the littlest technology lovers, who may just be learning to use an iPad. There are no complicated instructions or ways to accidentally go off course. It’s simple, colorful, and fun.

The app is available in English, Spanish, German, French, and Italian. Just change the default language on your device and the app’s audio will change accordingly.

Find Color the Cartoon: Farm in iTunes

Available for iPhone and iPad

Recommended for ages 0-5

Price: $2.99

Yesterday´s news about the quakes in the Washington area (the strongest one ever recorded in D.C.!) me hizo ponerme las pilas and I remembered this coloring book that Ashley Alvarado, from California Watch, had sent me some months ago and I never got the chance to share with you. It´s time.

Growing up in a land like El Salvador where Earth always rumbles doesn´t quite mean you´re always prepared for an earthquake emergency. In fact, we were so used to the shaking that we were a bit naive and just took it as a fact of life.

I still live in an earthquake-prone area, now in California and I need to start explaining to my four year old what an earthquake is and how to react to one when it happens.

Ready to Rumble is a coloring and activity book available for free download (just click on the image above and it´ll take you to the download page) in four languages, Spanish included. It´s a fun way to teach kids the serious facts about earthquakes and how to stay safe when the earth starts to shake, especially when they are in school.

From the looks of it, this coloring book needs to reach the little hands of kids beyond earthquake-prone California.

Have you been in an earthquake? Do your kids know how to be prepared and safe during one?
