Hi Everyone,
The labes are ready to be downloaded under the foreing flash card printout section in the Spanish folder. They are in both English and Spanish. They are ready to be printed. We just cut them and laminated them so they will last for a while.
Let me know if anybody has any suggestions. I can change and add some very easily.
Krista, if you like then and work for you, please feel free to use them in your monkysee website.

I have not read the book yet and I three books in line for my reading, but I would like to start with the crawling track ASAP. Could someone help me the basics? This way I can start before I get to the book. I have been putting my daughter for tummy time for about a month and a half twice a day. She hates it too, but she is doing longer periods of time. Any tips will be very appreciated!

We live in the States and my husband is american, so my daughter's first language is English. I'm from Colombia, so her second language is going to be Spanish which I have been teaching her since she was born (she is only four months old). We had decided to teach her signing language which we will start when she turns 6 months old. The last language we are going to be teaching her is chinese because we thing it is going to come very handy in the near future. Neither of us know chinese, but we think that with the materials you can find you can give them some good tools. We know we are going to be limited because we can's speak it, but we want to take advantage of her bright brain and give her as much info as possible, so later in life it will be much easier for her to continuing learning chinese. Because of that same reason I have been considering to teach her some Arabic, since there are some many good resources in this website, but I have not been able to convince my husband yet I think that the more languages you know the easiest it is to pick up new languages. So, I think that any language you pick will definetly give your kids an advantage. Good luck in your adventure!

I have a question about teaching a second language, I was just wondering about labelling the house in two languages and teaching a 2nd language that way? As I do not speak a 2nd language.
I'm not sure if it works or not, but I think it would not hurt. I'm actually today working on labels in english and spanish to put around the house. I'm going to do english in red and spanish in black to create certain association. I do speak both languages though. I'm not sure which languages you want to teach your baby, but if it is spanish I'll be more than happy to share the labels with you.
