Hispanic Heritage Month Trading Cards & MKB Giveaway


I am so delighted to once again participate in the Multicultural Kid Blogs annual Hispanic Heritage Month Blog Hop! They have put together an incredible set of giveaways, as well as a ton of fabulous posts by the participating blogs (I hope you visit each one for ideas and resources to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month!). Therefore, I want to keep my part of this post short so you can get on down to the good stuff. 


First, if you haven't been following my Facebook feed, I want you to know about the 2014 Hispanic Heritage Month Bucket List that I created for PBS Parents. It's a great starting point for exploring people, crafts, recipes, and traditions that are central to the Hispanic culture. You can download your FREE copy of the bucket list from my post on Adventures in Learning. (It's available in color or black-and-white to save printer ink!)

Next, I want to remind you that MommyMaestra has a TON of HHM resources for you to explore. You can find them all here


And lastly, I want to share with you today's free download: MommyMaestra's Hispanic Heritage Month Trading Cards. This first set features five influential Latinos who have left their mark on our nation's history and culture. They are available in black and white so that your child can color them in, cut them out, and trade them away. We're working on more cards and will share them here over the month as they are completed, so check back often and download additional sets! 

And now, on to the amazing giveaways from MKB!
