Tips for parents
- Hide a toy and give clues in Spanish: under the table, in the box.
- Ask your child to put a teddy on, in or under something as the song says.
- Use the words while tidying up: the book goes on the shelf, the ball in the box.
Questions parents ask
- Aren't prepositions too abstract for little kids?
- Not when you can see them. Putting a toy under a chair while hearing the word makes the meaning obvious, which is why these songs pair the words with a hunt.
