Contest: Win Big from Putumayo Kids

The Winner of the Hanna Andersson Contest is...
We're happy that so many of you enjoyed our latest contest with Hanna Andersson! Did you know that Hanna Andersson is a company built from Swedish roots? The original Hanna Andersson was a baby-loving grandmother in Skåne, Sweden near the Baltic Sea who passed on her fondness of quality goods to her granddaughter, the founder of the company so many of you adore.
The love that Julia Pimsleur Levine, the mom behind Little Pim, has for sharing languages with young children was passed down to her by her father, Dr. Paul Pimsleur. Dr. Pimsleur (of the Pimsleur language program for adults) was a French scholar and pioneer in the field of foreign language learning. Now Little Pim's animated DVDs are sharing French, Spanish, German, Russian, and six other languages with young children around the world (our success stories are amazing), including celebrity moms like Angelina Jolie and Jessica Alba!
No wonder we have so much fun together; two companies based on a global tradition committed to children.
Ready for the winner? The winner of the $100 Hanna Anderrson gift certificate is...Ellen Kucera! Ellen please email adam@LittlePim.com. Thank you for all of your entries!
This contest has put us in the giveaway mood! We're giving away a Little Pim Gift Set: this set includes three DVDs and a Little Pim Plush Panda ($59.95 value). Simply comment to enter.
Did You Know?
Young children who learn a language before the age of five tend to have superior reading, writing, analytical and social skills, as well as more extensive vocabularies.
You do not need to be bilingual to help your child learn a second language.
The most current scientific research has proven that babies, toddlers and preschoolers are uniquely equipped to learn one or more languages with ease.
To enter to win a Little Pim Gift Set in the language of your choice, just leave a comment below stating what language you'd like your child to learn. A winner will be notified via email.
