Language Littles Bilingual Dolls

We moved from NYC to my native El Salvador for a few years so our kids could be fluent in Spanish. No, that wasn't the only reason for the move but, thankfully, all three of them are now bilingual. Language Littles offer an intro to several languages via boy or girl plush dolls (dressed in funky, removable clothes) that "speak" between 25-30 basic words or phrases in, for now, Spanish, French, Korean, Italian, German, Russian, Japanese, Hebrew and Chinese. So, if you press Ling's right hand, you hear a series of greetings in Mandarin; press her left hand and she counts to ten. Brilliant! (I can't figure out, however, why the Italian doll is named Sophie and not Sofia...). All dolls differ in what they say and come with a pass code to access online activities for more fun and learning. Meant for kids 3 and up, Language Littles also come in different sizes: minis, 16" dolls and a scarily super-sized 32" version. Collect them all and turn your child into a spirited world citizen.
