VIDEO

GAMES

MAGAZINES
Chop Chop – This is a wonderful cooking magazine for children that is published 4 times a year. It is available in English and Spanish. There is an option to choose the language when you subscribe. It is one of my favorite gifts for Spanish learners!
Ladybug en español (3-6 years for native speakers. Appropriate for older Spanish learners.)
Iguana (7-12 years for native speakers. Appropriate for older Spanish learners.)
High Five Bilingue (2-6 years for native speakers. Appropriate for older Spanish learners.)
DONATIONS
Many families choose to include a donation in their holiday giving to their children. Languages are about connection and culture, so a donation is an especially appropriate gift for Spanish learners. Clearly there are many organizations doing important work that you can choose from, but here one suggestion.
I suggest this organization because I have been to Nicaragua and seen the important work Rayo de sol is doing in Matagalpa. This specific fundraising campaign is to help children stay in school, making it an excellent gift option for Spanish learners. Access to education is something children can appreciate and feel good about sharing.
¡Felices Fiestas a todos!

To add to this list I’d like to add the eSpectacularKids gift cards. We offer magic, storytelling and theatre videos for kids (2-12 years old) in Spanish, so kids can get used to watching content in Spanish with lots of visual cues to help them pick up new vocab!
