I often get asked for my opinion for the best Spanish books for toddlers from SLPs and parents, so here it is! I am sharing with you some of my favorite Spanish board books that I frequently use in speech therapy with my little ones. Best believe that at least one or more of these books is always in my speech therapy bag. Whether you are looking to build your child’s language skills, teach your child Spanish or provide speech therapy in Spanish with little ones, you cannot go wrong with either of these books. Each book can be used to target a variety of language concepts in order to build your child’s expressive language skills (words they can say) and receptive language skills (words they understand). I highly recommend these books each for the reasons listed below. I listed the common language areas that you can work on with your child or student when using the book. A link to each book has been provided. You can purchase each of the books on Amazon, simply click on the picture or title.

With the holiday season approaching, you are probably wondering what to buy for your little bilingual, or perhaps you are looking to gift an educational toy to a little one on a bilingual journey. Well lucky for you, you are in the right spot! As a bilingual speech language pathologist and new bilingual mom, I am constantly on the search for toys that can provide English and Spanish output.
