MULTICULTURAL GIFT IDEAS

The holidays are right around the corner. For many of us, the most difficult part of this busy time of year is figuring out the perfect gift for friends and loved ones. For those of you looking for bilingual and multicultural products, we have put together a list of some customer favorites that make perfect holiday gifts for young language learners, multicultural children, or a special teacher.

Board Books

These heavy-duty bilingual books are perfect for babies and toddlers, giving parents the chance to encourage bilingualism at an early age. Here is a list of some board books that babies and parents are sure to enjoy:


Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes Row, Row, Row Your Boat Dear Zoo (a “lift-the-flap” book)The Wheels on the Bus




Folktales and Fables

Goose Fables (The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg)

Who said picture books are just for kids?

Even though all of the following are picture books, both children and adult language learners will enjoy and learn from these bilingual books. Some customer favorites are:

The Giant Turnip Goldilocks and the Three Bears The Three Billy Goats Gruff The Elves and the Shoemaker Goose Fables Little Red Hen and the Grains of Wheat

Picture Dictionary with CDRom

Always a favorite gift, My Talking Dictionary with CDROM engages young language learners as well as older learners who benefit from “visual” interactive learning.

  • Children can look at words in the illustrated dictionary and can practice them on the computer.
  • The dictionary is arranged by theme (e.g., playground, seasons, animals, etc.).
  • Available in many dual-language editions.

 

Multilingual Posters

Teachers, daycare providers, and “worldly” families truly appreciate our beautifully-illustrated, multilingual posters. They make any classroom or playroom more multicultural and welcoming to all children.

Posters focus on different themes, such as individual words (e.g. “Hello” or “Thank you” said in multiple languages), Colors, Playground, Happy Birthday, Festivals, Weather, Global Warming and much more.
