The new bilingual DVD “Cantos y Rimas – Nursery Songs & Rhymes” and the Spanish DVD “Números y Figuras – Numbers & Shapes" have both just won an iParenting Media 2006 Hot Product Award and an iParenting Media 2006 Best Product Award.

All three new releases previously were awarded Dove Foundation “Family Approved” Seals.

“We are greatly honored to have been selected by these prestigious programs to receive these awards,” said MaryBeth Sigler-Garcia, CEO of Cantarima. “It is validation of our philosophy that children enjoy learning language through song.”  The iParenting Media award reviewers noted that the videos are “a great way to introduce a second language,” “fun and very educational,” and “combines learning language with familiar tunes for all children to appreciate”

.

Upbeat and interactive, Cantarima videos are designed to help build young children’s language skills through repetition and song. Cantarima’s bilingual videos introduce simple words simultaneously in both Spanish and English and reinforce those words with visual images and song. Amusing puppets, colorful toys, and other playmates bring the words to life through traditional well-known children’s songs and rhymes. Cantarima Spanish-only videos are meant to be a more intensive language-learning experience.

The Cantarima line of videos includes bilingual and Spanish-only titles are available in VHS and DVD formats.  The titles are available to purchase at specialty stores and online at www.cantarima.com and Amazon.com.

About Cantarima Multimedia

Founded by MaryBeth Garcia, a mother of 3 bilingual children and former business consultant, Cantarima Multimedia addresses the shortage of quality products developed specifically for infants and toddlers of Hispanic or mixed Hispanic-American heritage. As the majority of Hispanic children in the US are raised with lifelong exposure to both English and Spanish, there is a persistent demand for products which reflect how they hear their world.
