Teach your kiddies how to create diminutives and augmentatives in Spanish. They'll soon be adding -ito and -ita to every noun they can! Diminutives and augmentatives are much more common in Spanish, so there are many examples included here, as well as a quick reference page that outlines the information. The webpage also covers some suffixes and prefixes that pupils can use. Make sure you check out the presentation, which includes a practice exercise.
