10 gift ideas for your little language learners!!!

December is here, so let the magic in!!!

We have come up with a few ideas for your little language learners. All kids love books and they love to be read to. This Season let them enjoy books in a different language while having FUN!

We have paired our beautiful and engaging books in Spanish and English with a few toys and other non-toys that will delight your young language learners and will encourage them to practice their Spanish and English skills.

You can find our beautiful Picture Books on Amazon,  Google Play, Apple Books and Caribu, or you can purchase them at our SHOP with a 20% discount during the Holiday Season. Use Promo Code HOLIDAYS. Thank you for your support!

 

1) Recipes for a healthy snack/Recetas graciosas y saludables. 

These two books can go perfectly with a set of cookie cutters or a chef’s costume. After reading the book they may want to make their own magic wands or decorate crackers.

   

2) You shine!/¡Brillarás!

We have paired our beautiful and engaging books in Spanish and English with a few toys and other non-toys that will delight your young language learners and will encourage them to practice reading You Shine! and/or ¡Brillarás! Children love dinosaurs and the characters, the words and the delightful illustrations help make this story engaging and easy for young children to follow. You can pair this story with a dinosaur puzzle game to practice the alphabet in both languages and to build dinosaur words. Or a t-shirt with dinosaurs that they can wear when reading the book.
