Reading is one of the best tools to learn a language, develop your creative skills and imagination and also, a really good way to spend quality time with your little ones📚♥️

Have you heard about this tradition?
🤗🤍
Habéis oído hablar de esta tradición?
🌟🎊
In Spain families have dinner together on the 5th and leave food and drink (perhaps wine and turrón) for the Magi🍷 🍫, also water for their camels 🐫 💧. Children go to bed and the morning after… the presents have arrived 🎁!
And you… do you get your presents from Father Christmas or the Magi? And which food and drink do you leave the night before?
😍 Esperamos que paséis un fantástico día de Reyes Mañana! Y que os traigan sus majestades por lo menos un cuento o dos 😉

It‘s time to celebrate!✨

After two difficult years during which most of us might have been unable to spend time with our loved ones, we’ve probably all learned the lesson: what matters the most on Christmas, is not the presents, the food, the decorations… It’s who you spend it with ❤️

We hope you can celebrate together with whom you love the most! 🎄



¡Es hora de celebrar!✨

Después de dos años durante los que muchas de nosotras no hemos podido estar con nuestros seres queridos, seguramente hemos aprendido la lección: lo más importante de la Navidad no son los regalos, la comida, la decoración… sino con quién estamos❤️

¡Esperamos que podáis celebrarla con quién más queráis!🎄

Who would you give this book to? 🎁

Through books and engaging stories, learning a language can happen almost without noticing it.

We hope you share some quality time with your loved ones this Christmas enjoying beautiful stories and speaking in your peculiar languages❤️



¿A quién le regalarías este libro? 🎁

A través de libros e historias emocionantes, aprender un idioma puede ocurrir casi sin que te des cuenta.

Esperamos que puedas compartir un buen rato con tus seres queridos estas navidades disfrutando bonitas historias y hablando en vuestros idiomas peculiares❤️

One of our favourite parts of Christmas is wrapping presents 🎁 ✨

But during the festive season people generate enormous amounts of packaging waste. That’s why we encourage you to be creative, to reuse packaging, to create your own. Let’s respect the planet! 🌱

We are getting creative too! Have you seen the homemade wrapping paper we’ve made?

Check out our latest reel! 🎄



Una de las partes de la navidad que más nos gusta es envolver regalos🎁✨

Pero durante las fiestas las personas generamos cantidades enormes de residuos en embalajes. Por eso os animamos a ser creativas, a reutilizar embalajes, a crear los vuestros propios. ¡Respetemos el planeta! 🌱

Nosotras también nos hemos puesto creativas. ¿Ya habéis visto el papel de regalo casero que hemos hecho?

The Oxford Brookes Babylab is open and we're looking for some little scientists to come help out with our research!

Have you ever wondered how bilingual and trilingual babies manage to learn two or more languages at the same time? We are currently running a study to find out and we're looking for parents of 20-to-26-month-old bilingual and trilingual toddlers to come to the babylab in Oxford and take part! If you would like to find out more, please contact us: [email protected] or 01865 483 676 or sign up to our database on our website: https://babylab.brookes.ac.uk/register-your-child

If your child hears two or more languages but they are between 7 to 20 months or 26 to 36 months, you can take part in our online study instead! This study involves you as a parent/guardian completing three short games with your child and an online questionnaire about your child's language environment and their behaviour. If you are interested, please visit: https://brookeshls.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8bJf27PIiFh8XFc

If you are interested in taking part in our research but your child does not fall into the above groups, you can still register for our future research projects for babies of all ages and language groups (monolingual and bilinguals): https://babylab.brookes.ac.uk/register-your-child

This is Patricia Cutillas Osuna and is the author of The Dragon of Montblanc 🐉

💭”Since I was very little, I enjoyed telling stories. My parents told me that when I was three, I used to tell stories about princesses, witches, and enchanted castles and asked them to write the words next to my drawings. At school, teachers asked me if I wanted to be a writer because I created lots of stories and poems."
