This new bilingual multimedia kit was made available to schools for the first time in the fall.
The Latin Playground Activity Kit, the latest release in the World Playground collection, recently won several awards, including honors from Parents' Choice and a gold award from the National Parenting Publications Association. Latin Playground: A Musical Adventure for Kids, released on CD last summer, includes a collection of songs by well-known artists from Cuba, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Uruguay and more.
The bilingual Spanish and English kit includes the full Latin Playground CD, a sixty-four-page, full-color illustrated guidebook with instructions for more than fifty hands-on activities, sing-a-long song lyrics, puzzles, recipes, Spanish vocabulary-building game and more, along with a child's passport journal.
Putumayo's critically acclaimed World Playground series of world music for kids has introduced more than 250,0000 children to music from twenty-four countries.
A portion of the proceeds from CD sales will be donated to the newly formed nonprofit Putumayo Cross-Cultural Initiative, an international organization that works with children to promote cross-cultural understanding and arts in education experiences.
