Product Description

Birdsong Playtime to Plate brings Spanish and English into the moments your baby already lives every day — from playtime to mealtime.

El Elefante Quiere introduces five first verbs — jugar, comer, dormir, hablar, leer — through sensory play and the melody of “Un Elefante se Balanceaba.”

At the table, two bilingual silicone bibs and Baby’s First Foods placemat turn familiar mealtime moments into opportunities to sing, name foods, and build everyday vocabulary in both languages.

No screens. No batteries. Just simple, repeatable ways to bring more Spanish into your baby’s day.

Give it as a baby gift, a first birthday present, or the start of a bilingual routine that grows with them.

Frequently asked questions

What's in the Bilingual Playtime to Plate Kit?

Everything you need to bring Spanish into two of your baby's biggest daily routines: play and meals. The kit includes El Elefante Quiere, two bilingual silicone bibs (El Plátano y Yo and El Tren de la Cucharita) and the First Foods bilingual placemat. The same words carry from one routine to the next, so comer from the elephant's song shows up again at the high chair. It's made for babies 4 months and up, from first play to first foods.

When should we start using the bibs and placemat?

Your baby can enjoy El Elefante Quiere right away. The bibs and placemat are ready when your baby starts solids usually between 4-6 months depending on when your baby is ready.

How do I use the kit to bring Spanish into mealtime?

Talk about what's happening as it happens. Point to the foods on the placemat and name them in Spanish and English. Sing the El Tren de la Cucharita song as the spoon comes in. Narrate what your baby does: ¡Estás comiendo! (You're eating!) Words from playtime, like comer, come back at the table, and hearing them in new moments helps them stick.

Is the Playtime to Plate Kit a good gift?

Yes, especially for a baby shower or first birthday. It covers play and mealtime in one gift, and El Elefante Quiere is a 2026 NAPPA Award winner. The elephant arrives in a gift-ready box; the bibs and placemat ship in standard packaging, so you may want to add your own wrap.

Are the bibs and placemat dishwasher safe?

 Yes. Both the bibs and the placemat are dishwasher safe, and they also wipe clean with warm, soapy water between meals.

Do the bibs have a food-catching pocket?

Yes. Both bibs have a pocket that catches dropped food and an adjustable neck that fits your baby as they grow.

Does the placemat suction to the table?

 No. The First Foods placemat lies flat on your table without suction, so it's easy to move and take along to abuela's house or a restaurant.
