Congratulations #36 Christine (ossmcalc)Baby Abuelita Review & Giveaway
Ends 11/10 at 11:59pm
Launched in 2005, The founders of Baby Abuelita's goal was to develop products to educate children on Hispanic traditions and cultures as well as teach practical lessons, including English and Spanish vocabulary.
My Review:
Since we are raising our 18 month old son in a Bilingual home, I was extra excited to get the opportunity to review the Baby Abuelita Products. My husband's parents were born and raised in Cuba. They met and started a family in Miami where Hispanic traditions and cultures continue to live. When we had our son in 2008 we knew that it would be important to enrich him with the Spanish language and culture and be educated in the history of my husbands side of the family.
My son enjoyed the Baby Abuelita products, especially the Family Fiesta Dvd. The characters in the Dvd made learning spanish fun, which is the best way to introduce a child to a second language. In the Dvd, Abuelito (Grandpa) Pancho taught his grandchildren about their Hispanic culture through catchy tunes and fun dialogue. My son loved the music, clapping his hands and dancing all around! The Dvd also came with a mini Abuelito Pancho plush doll, which is just too adorable with his detailed stitching and little glasses.
We also loved the Sing Along with Abuelito Pancho Lullaby music Book. I have heard my Mother in law and Great Mother in law sing to my son many of the songs that are in the book. Since I don't speak Spanish, it was nice for me to see the words (in English & Spanish) on the page and hear the music along with each song!
Where can you buy Baby Abuelita Products?
Baby Abuelita Products are currently being distributed to more than 3,000 stores including Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target, Toys R Us, and Sam's Club as well as http://www.babyabuelita.com/. Find a location near you.

I went to the site and the kids are loving the Fiesta time song. I have never heard of these videos before but will look into finding them. We are also trying to raise the children bilingual! 14.99 is reasonable for 3 episodes!

As a Latina, I love for products that expose our culture to my son. He is 15 months old right now and is just absorbing everything. I think the Baby Abuelita will be a gift he would enjoy for many years. As my 15month old says, "draciaaaassss" (Gracias).

Its funny cuz I saw this doll in Target the other day and I had never heard of it before. I had no idea until I saw this post that they had a website. So I did what you said and went to the website and REALLY liked what I saw. I think this is a cute, fun, and educational toy which is a GREAT way to reach children. Hey its better then trying to teach the child with flashcards or something right :) Thank you for posting this...

This is a really great doll. My daughter got the abuelita last christmas from her abuelita. We like it because it teaches her many songs that my parents sang to me when a was young. We would love to own abuelito for our 10 month old son. (christyjimenez86@yahoo.com)

The music is very snappy. I think it would keep the kids attention. What a great way to learn about another culture. Thanks!

I feel it's important for my son to be bilingual to incorporate both parent's heritages. I think these products are fun ways to help teach my son Spanish. I'm definitely going to get Baby Tita for him for a Christmas gift.
