Have you considered teaching your little one another language but dismissed it as being too difficult and too expensive? It is actually easier than you think - and you don't need to be fluent in a language yourself to start!
I'm sure you have plenty of toys and everyday activities that lend themselves to introducing a language. Just by spending 5 or 10 minutes a day you would be amazed at how much a toddler can pick up.
Little Imp was 15 months old when I started running my toddler classes and prior to that I had not spoken any French to her at all. Now only 4 months on she can say "Bonjour" and "Au revoir", asks for French versions of nursery rhymes as well as English ones "Baa Baa mou noir mama" (Baa Baa mouton noir mama) or "Baa Baa sheep mama" (Baa Baa black sheep mama) depending which one she wants to sing and can name several colours and fruits in both English and French.
My aim with this blog is to document the activities we do at our toddler group - songs and crafts that you can do with your own little one at home - and also ideas for introducing a little taste of French into everyday life.
Thanks for reading and I hope that you enjoy learning some French along with us!
Emma and Little Imp :o)
