5 Spanish Songs for Toddler's Daily Routine
We are pretty obsessed with using music for language learning at home. Not only does exposing kids to music early help them learn sounds and the meanings of words, but it helps them with motor skills, self-expression, and memory skills.
An easy way to incorporate more music into their day is by connecting songs to daily routines. Here are a few short Spanish songs that are easy to remember and sing with your littles.
1. A song for diaper changes (sing to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)
| Spanish Lyrics | English Translation |
|
Es momento de cambiar con cuidado el pañal. La colita hay que limpiar, y uno nuevo colocar Ahora que fresquito estás Ya podemos celebrar! |
It's time to change your diaper carefully. We need to clean your bum and put on a new diaper. Now that you're clean/fresh, We can celebrate! |
2. A song for when we brush teeth (sing to the tune of Frère Jacques)
| Spanish Lyrics | English Translation |

A lavarse los dientes Vamos ya, vamos ya Usamos el cepillo Y pasta de dientes Mañana y noche Mañana y noche |
Let's brush our teeth Let's do it, let's do it We use our toothbrush And toothpaste Morning and night Morning and night

3. A song for when we wash our hands (sing to the tune of La Bamba)
| Spanish Lyrics | English Translation |

Yo me lavo las manos Yo me lavo las manos Con jabón y un poquito de agua Yo me lavo las manos Yo me lavo las manos Con jabón y un poquito de agua |
I wash my hands I wash my hands With soap and a little bit of water I wash my hands I wash my hands With soap and a little bit of water |

A levantarse que ya salió el sol Arriba, arriba, arriba, arriba A ver que hacemos hoy |

I would enjoy using these songs listed, as I am struggling with a toddler who prefers to use English, and his mother speaks Spanish.
