Asia For Kids Highlights & Shopping!
This partner's site has an awesome list of multi-cultural books, DVDs, CDs, videos, dolls, posters, t-shirts and other curriculum materials for most cultures of Asia (China, Japan, Korea, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, etc.) India, Indonesia, the Middle East, Pakistan, the Phillipines, Russia, Tibet and even all the Spanish-speaking cultures. I have used their materials in my own Early Childhood Education programs while working at the University of Houston. Often recommended by National Association of Educators of Young Children as a terrific resource for multi-cultural programs, and for parents of bi-lingual children.
Plus, there are more resources available at Asia For Kids on parent, teacher, authors and kids needs and in sections on adoption, country, multi-cultural calendar, Lunar New Year, Moon festival, and Dragon Festival. Don't miss the recipe for Mooncake!
Teachers, find curriculum materials online at Asia For Kids.
