Educational & Bilingual Digital Printables
Picture
I loved school as a child.  I also loved playing school after school.  This should have probably been a sign that I should have become a teacher, especially since I love children. But I don't regret not becoming a teacher - I have just spent many hours volunteering in the classroom at my kids' schools!  I have recently also found a new way to channel this passion: designing bilingual and educational printables.  

Growing up in the Netherlands, I learned many foreign languages as few people outside of my home country speak Dutch.  I see language as a way to build bridges between people.  Even speaking a few words in another language can help you to connect with people around the world.  We are so thankful for the Spanish Immersion program our kids are enrolled in at the local public school so they can learn these concepts firsthand.

Striving to help kids to enjoy learning, I opened up an etsy shop for my bilingual and educational printables. So far, I have created printable memory matching games in both Dutch/English and Spanish/English,  a "Cabin in the Woods" memory matching game, a couple bookmarks and printable gift tags for handmade gifts and homemade crafts with my Polar Bears with Heart design.  I also recently created a paper dress up doll printable that helps your child learn Spanish  or English through fun and play as well as a worksheet to help kids to increase body parts vocabulary.  I hope to add more of these instant download printables this year.  If you want to learn more about these educational printables, click the images below or the shop link above to see the entire collection.  Thanks!
