Special Moments From The 2015 New York Baby Show

From the moment that “Weekend TODAY” anchors Erica Hill and Sheinelle Jones cut the ribbon at the 2015 New York Baby Show, on May 16 at Pier 92, the tide of education, energy, and family fun and bonding was non-stop. From tips and tricks from presenting sponsor Canon on capturing baby’s magic moments, to inspiring seminars with speakers like Nancy Redd of HuffPost Live, to the Baby Show’s famous stroller test track, to the calming oases of the Moms’ and Dads’ Lounges, the Baby Show was a wonderland of enjoyable activities and resources for new and expectant parents and their bumps, babies, and toddlers.

Collina Italiana - Italian Language and Cultural Center

Italian Fun for Kids and Teens! Learning a new language isn&rsquo;t just fun&mdash;it&rsquo;s also great for the brain! Did you know that it can help develop essential skills for life? Studies show that learning a second language at a young age can improve problem-solving, critical thinking, and listening abilities, while boosting memory, focus, and multitasking skills. Children who are fluent in multiple languages also demonstrate increased creativity and mental flexibility. At Collina Italiana, we make learning fun with stories, games, activities, and conversation. Each class blends art, storytelling, singing, and dancing to keep kids engaged. For older children, our classes focus on grammar and vocabulary, providing the tools they need to learn and practice Italian in a small group setting, all while having fun with a variety of resources. Kids love exploring the stories behind our cultural traditions, adding a rich, hands-on experience to their language learning journey. &nbsp; &nbsp;
