About a year and a half ago, I won a Boca Beth blog giveaway. I posted my original impressions of the program here, last year. Since then, I've been lucky enough to win several other giveaways, and I've also made several purchases. At this point, we own nearly every product Boca Beth sells.
The premise is simple. Beth Butler, and her puppet, Boca, give little ones a head start by teaching them the Spanish words for every day things, like animals, days of the week, and things around the house. This is accomplished largely through song.
It's a fun, lighthearted approach to beginning a second language. My kids love it, particularly the two year old, who's always asking to watch Boca, or listen to a Boca cd. The cool part is that she's actually learning. She's been walking around singing Boca Beth songs to herself.
Beth has DVDs, CDs, Boca puppets, and lots of other resources available for sale at http://www.bocabeth.com/. She also has an area on her site devoted to free resources, located here. Want to learn even more about Boca Beth? You can check out her blog, follow her on Twitter, or and yep, she's on Facebook too. She's even got a Youtube channel. (While you're here, check out the felt board set I made to go along with one of her Youtube videos, here. There's a free template to download.)
By the way, she's always running a fun contest or promo somewhere, so do check her out, for more chances to win, or be notified of sales on her award winning products.
Beth is generously offering one (1) lucky reader a Boca Beth Beginner Backpack set, which retails for $49.99.
As per the website, it includes the following items:
Our first music CD My First Songs in Spanish / Mis primeras canciones en Inglés
Our recently revised DVD I Like Animals
BOCA the lovable puppet
Our bilingual coloring/activity book with more than 40 pages of Spanish & English fun
A How To Guide for second language instruction
Spanish and English fun learning for kids all conveniently packaged inside our Boca Beth see-thru vinyl child-sized backpack

I am a facebook fan of Boca Beth. I got the opportunity to see her live at the Alabama Pre-K Conference and thought she was amazing.

I love that Beth is offering environmentally friendly packaging. I would most like to purchase the praise CD. We know lots of worship songs and I bet learning them over again in Spanish would really help me learn the language.
ReplyDeleteI love the sing praise for children cd! Looks amazing!

ReplyDeleteMy son (who is still learning to speak in English) loves pointing out things around the house that he can identify from a book or movie. I'd love to get the My House DVD for him so he can start identifying things in Spanish as well as English!
