With Latino + Bilingual Kids in Mind
From the monthly archives:
Our little Dora moved to the city, grew long hair, replaced her furry friends for new Explorer Girls BFFs and now wears a hot pink dress and bedazzling jewelry. Ay, our niña is all grown up. Next, she´ll be wanting a Quinceañera!
The much discussed arrival of Mattel´s new Dora the Explorer franchise aimed at girls [...]

Diego’s adventures in one little pack is what you can find in this toy- Extreme Launch and Rescue Pack. It´s nice that it´s made of hard plastic so with the push of a button, you open the backpack and it stands up by itself turning into the Rescue Station. I also find that being made [...]

Creativity, culture, imagination and fun all in one little kit. I wished I would have found these make-your-own-piñata kits when my girl turned two. Since she´s terrified of basically all types of piñatas after she witnessed the destruction of a Dora-shaped one, this one would have been a perfect way to involve her in the [...]

I honestly thought my daughter would be bored by watching the Little Pim Spanish Eating and Drinking DVD we were sent because, well, she already understands Spanish since it´s the only language she hears at home.

My girl’s favorite phrase lately (said in a very dictator-like tone) is “¡A bailar!” She manages to get us all dancing on cue and on the spot. So you can imagine her bliss when she opened the huge Fisher Price box to discover her sorpresa: a brand new Dance With Me Dora! Her glee turned [...]

Etsy is my favorite site to browse for original, artistic and unique Finds. You´ll be happily surprised at the many cute things you can find for our niños and for ourselves that are bursting with attitude and have been created by Latinos y Latinas.
I´m especially fond of supporting artists who are keeping it real by [...]

Why did I not know about Latin Baby on-line boutique two years ago when friends and family were showering me with gifts for the upcoming arrival of our girl? I would have been such an original if I´d set up my baby registry with them, a site that celebrates our hispanic culture and traditions.
My registry [...]
