A Bilingual Fourth of July

Tomorrow families all over nuestro país will be celebrating the 4th of July. If you are looking for a few fun activities or good reads, below is a list of some of my favorites in English and Spanish.

There's not too much out there for bilingual families. Hmmm...maybe a good idea for some publishers out there, no?

But here's to a happy Independence Day to all of you!

Crafts
