Bilingual Nursery Rhymes with Nick Jr. – Canticos

September 30, 2018

This post is in partnership with Nick Jr.-

My daughter and I love to sing-a-long to Canticos, available on the FREE Nick Jr. App (or on NickJr. on YouTube). In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, I have partnered with Canticos’ bilingual nursery rhymes! Which pairs classic nursery rhymes from all over the Spanish-speaking world with adorable animal characters to create educational music videos. Kids can learn simple vocabulary words, numbers, the days of the week, and more, in English and Spanish. The best part for me is that my daughter gets to learn nursery rhymes I learned from my mom & grandmother when I was little and in Spanish!!

I love watching her repeat the words in Spanish and English! The team behind Canticos is dedicated to telling authentic, relevant stories that come directly out of their own personal experiences growing up with these songs and characters. This is why as a mom, it completely resonated with me!

When I was a little girl, my mom, siblings and I use to sing-a-along in Spanish to a song called Pin-Pon. When I saw this song animated on the Canticos app, not only did it make me smile, but I got teary eyed too! To see it come to life in an adorably cute illustrated animation and finally hearing & reading the full nursery rhyme lyrics was such a treat! It has been very special to sit on any quite afternoon with my little Seli and share this song from my childhood with her. Hopefully, she shares these songs with her kids one day too.
