New Bilingual Kids App: Wubbzy y El Tren Loco

This is part of a sponsored campaign with Latina Mom Bloggers and Cupcake Digital. I received a free digital download to review this app, however all opinions expressed are my own.

The new app is brought to you by Cupcake Digital executives Jennifer Powers and Carmen Hernandez,  two Latina, bilingual moms who feel that it is important to give their children ways to engage in the language and foster their interest in learning and speaking Spanish.
 

My daughter loves playing with apps on our iPad so when she came home from school to find a new app I downloaded she was very excited. She really enjoyed the last app I got her, La Aventura de Wubbzy y Los Dinosaurios needless to say this one was a hit as well. 
Although pretty similar this new app has a complete new story line.

She took a break from Princess dress up to play the app. There are many interactive features to keep her entertained and engaged while also learning at the same time.

Wubbzy y El Tren Loco features:

• Fun mini-games within the story and added learning games for practice of number, letter and sight word recognition
• Professional narration of the same story in English and Spanish is a good introduction for initiating natural language acquisition
• Individually highlighted words in the app are designed specifically for teaching the basics of spelling and vocabulary and can be used to practice Spanish
• Three reading modes: Just a Book for quiet reading time, Read to Me and Read & Play
• Three original sing-along music videos taken from the popular Emmy® award-winning series  Coloring pages with scenes straight from the story
• A Grown-Up’s Corner to guide parents, teachers and caregivers in discussing the story with kids

Music Video

As with the other Wubbzy app I wish the videos had been translated to Spanish since my daughter loves to sing. It would have been great to hear her practicing her Spanish by singing along to the songs. I did notice however that they added sub-titles which is great for older children. Nonetheless it is a great app for your children. 

Have you downloaded it? Which apps are your favorite for your children?
