Homeschool Spanish Lessons - Online Learning

I’ve found some incredible resources for Spanish animated picture books. As I spend many hours reading to my own kids, I know the impact that reading can have on  them. It’s also one of the best ways to begin introducing Spanish sounds and vocabulary. At first I thought of trying to get the rights to some kids books and do a few animated readings myself, but that is a pretty huge project to take on and I have about 0 free minutes a day right now!  So I did some searching online and quickly saw that this isn’t an original idea, and has been done quite well especially by the Tumblebooks people. I’ve included this info on the Wiki site that is still pretty much a private work in progress, but I’ll post this info again here – you can also see the Childtopia.com books by clicking on the menu to your right - “Animated Spanish Books”.
