With Latino + Bilingual Kids in Mind
From the category archives:
Recently, I wrote about ways to enrich your bilingual child’s vocabulary over at our sister site, SpanglishBaby, and one of the tips was to try to make everything into a topic of conversation. Coincidentally, the same day, I got the product pictured above which is a table game about exactly that: questions – from the [...]

One of the biggest challenges of raising a preschooler is to get their focus and attention for at least five minutes. Well, that´s the case in my house. I mean, we´re finally getting to the stage where storytime doesn´t mean ripping and biting books! That´s why I felt we passed a milestone yesterday when my [...]

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!

When the time comes I will need all-the-help-I-can-get to introduce my girl to numbers and math concepts. There´s a reason why I chose to write and communicate as a profession and why I need a calculator to figure out tips.
I really don´t want to pass along that fear of numbers to her. Ingenio´s Math-o-matic manages [...]

Another big hit during the playgroup I recently hosted to review Ingenio’s toys, in one word, the North American Map Puzzle, is STURDY! I know we’ve been using this word a lot these past few days when describing this bilingual toy company’s products, but it’s the truth and nothing is more important than a toy [...]

The first thing that captured my attention on this Ingenio Animals Learning Puzzle was that it says “Two puzzles in one” on the box. I didn’t quite get it because there is just one big puzzle and it has animals with their names written in both Spanish in English. But when I gave it to [...]

These cards are similar to the ones Ana Lilian reviewed here, except that instead of opposites, they illustrate the English alphabet on one side and the Spanish one on the other.
The Alphabet Learning Cards was the first toy we opened when we got the box from Ingenio and my daughter, Vanessa, had no problem calling [...]
