Do you know gifting Llamitas Spanish curriculum is now easier than ever with our GIFT CERTIFICATES?

Yoto
I am so impressed with this audio player for ages 3+. Yoto helps parents reduce screen time while entertaining them through audio read alouds, songs, podcasts and more!
The best part: they have a small, but growing Spanish collection! Plus Spanish podcasts and radio! Our favorite card is “Canta con Sonia”!
If you go to ‘Cards’ from the main menu, you can filter by language! The Yoto Player even has an integrated white noise machine which my kids need!
Binibi
We are truly in love with this Latina owned business!
These musical Spanish books are sturdy (perfect for heavy handed toddlers) and the music is very authentic to the Hispanic culture. I would highly recommend them for ages 0-6.
UPDATE 2025: They have just released a beautiful Christmas musical book! >> Shop here!

Habbi Habbi
Building a bilingual library has been an absolute joy for my family. I truly believe there is so much magic in reading a good book.
Habbi Habbi is particularly special to us, as their books are interactive with a Reading Wand!
My kids LOVE playing and exploring the pages because every single part of the page is tappable. Whether your child taps the pictures, words or white space, they will get a response in the target language.
It’s such a genius creation and I highly recommend for all families looking to gift something special and unique.
PÃo Peep Anthology
This is the most authentic anthology of Spanish Nursery Rhymes I have found. It was one of the first resources I ever purchased for my own children, and still the most loved.
From Arroz con Leche to De Colores, it has some beautiful and timeless hispanic poems with beautiful illustrations.

Libros Pizarra
These Wipe Clean books from PaperPie are a daily activity in our bilingual home. They are perfect for morning routines and practicing those early years fine motor skills like tracing and pen control.
Best of all, they can be used over and over again. You can find them in my bilingual bookshop.
Spanish Board Games
We are a huge board game family! Almost every Sunday after church, we grab a game together. Lately we are realizing, that they can be a great way to practice Spanish too!
Here are our top picks for adults:
Scrabble en Español ~ A great workout for my brain!
Código Secreto ~This is such a simple but fun game! You have to have an advanced Spanish level to play it, otherwise I recommend you get the English version. Try to get your teammate to guess the cards you have by giving them clues. This is a great game to play after a couple of drinks!
Spanish Board Games for Young Kids:
I would recommend you check out La LoterÃa (bingo). It’s a classic and a must-have for every family learning Spanish!

For a traditional version of LoterÃa, I recommend this one on Amazon. I first discovered this at our school district’s DÃa de Muertos event and I love the traditional hispanic illustrations. I also love this one from Lil’Libros for a more playful look.

Bilingual Parenting Books
I love self-help books and bilingual parenting books are a great way to get inspired and discover new ideas for how to raise little linguists.
Some of my favorite picks include:
Bilingual Success Stories Around the World
Adam Beck is one of my favorite gurus for bilingual parenting! In his most recent publication, Adam shares the stories of many other families who have embarked on the adventure of raising bilingual kids.
It’s very encouraging because the stories are authentic and honest. It is also full of useful tips for transitioning your child to an active bilingual. I highly recommend it, as well as his first release Maximize your Child’s Bilingual Ability.
Written by the incredible bilingual and bicultural latina mom Maritere Rodriguez Bellas, this is a very important read for families that are raising bicultural children.
Mari shares her experiences and expertise in multicultural parenting, and the challenges she faced. It is also highly encouraging and eye opening. A must read for bilingual parenting tips.
Wishing you a wonderful tuki tuki season!
