Spring Fun and Sweet Treats in Chile!
Hello little friends! Welcome to our sunny English corner. Today we explore games, sweet surprises, and cool words together. Are you ready to play and learn? Let's go!
Cartoons We Like
Little boys and girls love watching cheerful puppy adventures and cute blue heeler families on screen! We watch brave doggies help their town and funny cartoon sisters play games in the backyard. Watching fun cartoons in English helps our ears learn friendly new words!
Toys & Games
Do you like colorful building blocks? We can build big castles, tall towers, and race cars. Soft animal plushies love warm hugs at playtime. In Chile, children also love running outside with bouncy balls and spinning wooden tops in the spring breeze!
Sweet Treats
Yum, snack time is so delicious! In Chile, crunchy wafer rolls filled with sweet caramel manjar are called cuchuflí. Soft, puffy marshmallow treats shaped like tiny babies are called guagüitas. They taste sweet and make our smiles big!
Books & Bedtime Stories
Before sleeping, open a colorful picture book! We can read sweet stories about a little brown bear, friendly forest pudú deer, or fluffy sheep jumping over stars. Looking at pictures while listening to mom or dad is magical and cozy.
Music & Dance
Clap your hands and tap your feet! Chilean kids love silly songs by puppet friends from 31 Minutos and upbeat dancing melodies. Put your arms in the air, jump two times, and wiggle your toes to the music!
Hobbies & Playtime
September brings warm spring air to Chile! We love drawing bright yellow suns with crayons, making animals out of playdough, and flying colorful kites in the park. Flying kites in the sky is so much fun!
