Resources Available in SpanglishBaby’s™ La Tiendita

La Tiendita

If you have been following my blog or my articles on SpanglishBaby™, then you know that Sofía and I have been learning our Abecedario, our letras and their sounds.  
SpanglishBaby™ has a Tiendita through Amazon where you can make purchases and part of the proceeds will benefit us in bringing you more fabulous prizes and opportunities. So, before purchasing any product for your Spanglish Baby that has to do with Español, always check first with our Tiendita.  Since Sofía has been born, I’ve done lots of searching for material (books, toys, and apparel) en Español.   I’ve noticed that if I do a search on Amazon on my own, these products (from La Tiendita) don’t necessarily show up (I think that foreign material products aren’t always tagged properly for searches) and there are some really good resources in La Tiendita!  I saw some authentic CD titles that I know I will be purchasing for Christmas!  What better way to reinforce rhyming than with classic children’s songs en Español! I also noticed that Leap Frog makes a Pesca de Letras toy.  Although it is no longer available through Amazon, I now have a “make and model” to be able to contact Leap Frog directly and ask for it!  All in all, a little parada in La Tiendita before purchasing through Amazon is a definitely worth the extra time spent!

Español Alphabet Pocket Chart


If you have been following my blog or my articles on SpanglishBaby™, then you know that Sofía and I have been learning our Abecedario, our letras and their sounds.  

In order to help facilitate my efforts, I purchased an Español Alphabet Pocket Chart made by Learning  Resources.  We LOVE it!  It is well-made, accurate, and their customer service center is outstanding!  I will definitely purchase their products again!  

The Pocket Chart comes with various picture cards that correspond with each letter and there are many copies of each letter so as to promote spelling too. (both upper and lower case as well as vowels with accent marks!) We can match letters with letters or letters with sounds or pictures with beginning letters or pictures with sounds.  Really it is worth every centavo spent and I know we will be using it for many years!
