Bilingual Baby Registry – The Best Language Gifts for Bilingual Babies

October 14, 2022

In this post: Read about the best language gifts for bilingual babies and your bilingual baby registry. Post contains affiliate links. 

I am writing this post as I sit here 22 weeks pregnant in mega-baby-prep-mode. You never really know just how type-A you are until you sit down to make a baby registry. Honestly I cannot get enough of organizing and list making lately, and when it comes down to what language gifts I want for my bilingual baby, this is no exception! 

I pride myself on my baby registry skills. After having twins, I know what is totally unnecessary and what is a life saver. Now, after nearly five years of raising bilingual kids, I also know how important those first months and years are for bilingual babies and toddlers.

Here are my favorite language gifts for bilingual babies and their families. 

Bilingual Baby Books

This is the biggest and most important language tool to have on hand for bilingual babies and toddlers. Books and stories are everything to me, both as a mom and a teacher. Having lots of Spanish children’s books on hand help build consistency with the language from a young age, and they are accessible for any age, even newborns!

Interactive Spanish Toys for Babies

I am a firm believer that less is more when it comes to toys for babies and toddlers. That’s why I want everything to pull double-duty and work as a plaything and language gift. I always love having bilingual baby toys on hand that help my child interact with the language in a fun and engaging way! 

Bilingual Baby Toy Favorites

  • Leapfrog Learn & Groove Shaking Maracas – I love that very young babies can interact and play with these from such a young age. You can have everything in just Spanish while they hear music, instruments, colors and more! 
  • Interactive Picture Cards – Babies learn from seeing images and hearing words repeated over and over. Having fun and engaging picture cards to look at with them is a great way to build their vocabulary en español! 
  • Bilingual Baby Blocks – Wooden blocks are a toy that will last your child for years! I love having these bilingual blocks on hand to not only play with, but to teach my bilingual baby at the same time. 
  • Baby Einstein Musical Octopus – It’s fuzzy, its cuddly, and it will help your kids hear Spanish while they play! I cannot wait to get this for my bilingual baby on the way. 

Bilingual Baby Apparel

Who doesn’t want to show off their bilingual baby in some cute gear? I always love finding small businesses that create beautiful and creative clothing for children with bilingual pride. These are especially really thoughtful gifts for bilingual families who are expecting! I always have the best look browsing away on Etsy for the cute language-centered onesies and clothes. 

Bilingual Baby Extras

If you’re looking for the perfect baby shower gift for a bilingual baby, or if you’re just wanting to give in to that nesting urge for your own bilingüito on the way – here are some special extras to grab!

At the end of the day, babies don’t need a lot! While these books and toys and extras would be amazing supports for your journey of bilingualism, remember that time and consistency are the most important. Raising a bilingual baby doesn’t need to be perfect, it just needs to fit your family. 

I hope that these bilingual baby gifts help spark some fun ways to help you on your journey of bilingual parenting! Whether you need a baby shower gift, or something sweet for your newest bilingual arrival, I hope I can support you on every step of your journey.

  • The journey begins 🤩 Granted he was saying mamá AND his big sister’s name first but both of those are Spanish words too. Más is his first real word he can respond with though and it is just 🥹🥹🥹 Our whole family moves to Costa Rica in 110 days 😱😱 and I am so excited to watch this baby boy and his big sisters really immersed en español - it will take some of the weight of my shoulders for sure. Who else has been the main source of Spanish for their kids? It’s exhausting! But so so worth it for moments like these 🙌🏻
  • Spanish nursery rhymes are such an amazing way to teach new vocabulary and complex sentence structures in a fun way! If you want to see the lyrics for these five and learn even more comment RHYME or RIMA and I’ll send you a link to even more you can learn at home! What are your favorites to teach your kids? Mine are obsessed with Pin Pon right now and it’s constantly stuck in my head 😵‍💫🫠🤩
  • 👇🏻Special Earth Day Savings on my Spanish Courses! Cuentos Conmigo is the THIRD Spanish course and curriculum I’ve created over the last four years and it holds a special place in my heart because it is a direct reflection of the routine I’ve followed to raise and teach my own bilingual children in the early years. My goal was to make it as cute as all the English versions of early years curriculum - printable puppets, fun stories, poetry and songs, crafts, recipes, nature - it’s got it all! Best of all I wrote it specifically with bilingual families in mind - that’s not to say you have to be fluent to enjoy it! But it does come with a bilingual version for Spanish learners, and a full Spanish edition for families that already speak Spanish 🙌🏻 FINALLY y’all. We have something just for us. This goes beyond the basics, no lessons on colors or numbers here and no boring worksheets either, Cuentos Conmigo focuses on bringing Spanish into your every day adventures. The spring version is live today! Comment: HOMESCHOOLING or BILINGUAL or CUENTOS and I’ll send you info and a special code to save on your purchase to celebrate Earth Day! Looking for something for beginners with young children? Con mi Familia is my Spanish course designed just for families learning side by side with their little ones! It’s play based and an amazing way to learn the basics alongside your kids! Need something for teens or older kids? Spanish in the Wild is the only bilingual nature study of its kind! Written specifically as a fun and hands-on way for older kids to learn Spanish 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Happy Earth Day 🥰
  • I grew up with this feeling of never being enough: good enough, tall enough, smart enough, talented enough, strong enough…the list goes on… The other day I was feeling down and I found myself wondering when I would feel like I was ENOUGH and this magical voice just popped into my head asking…enough for who? Because when I really look at who I am, what I do, and the family I’m so blessed to have- it is all more than enough for me. Once I stop focusing on what I think other people think - I realize that I am happy with where I am. All of this translates to our bilingual kids and our own bilingual journey. I can’t even tell you how many messages I get from families worrying that their Spanish isn’t good enough to teach their kids, or their kids aren’t speaking enough Spanish, or they don’t know enough, or they aren't bilingual enough, and I want to just ask - enough for WHO?! If it’s not enough for you, that’s one thing - the motivation to grow and change when it comes from a place of genuine desire and not pressure is different than pushing yourself or your kids to be more because you feel like they should be. Remember that you are allowed to have your own goals on this journey. Don't feel pressured by someone else's standards of what your bilingualism or your child's bilingualism needs to look like. ❤️❤️❤️ YOU ARE ENOUGH ❤️❤️❤️
  • Comment SPANISH or HOMESCHOOL or FREEBIE and I’ll send you the info to access the Spanish podcast freebie library and info for my newest episode all about songbirds en español 🤩🙌🏻 I made this podcast with the hopes of helping Spanish teachers, homeschoolers, and anyone teaching their kids Spanish at home with free resources you can built into full on lessons! Each episode works well with all my Spanish nature curriculum and of course my Spanish nature journal too 🤩🤩
