I wanted to share the Spanish resources I use for my kids (2 and 5) who
have Spanish as a minority language. If you have any other Spanish
preschool resources to share, please do so.

Music
- Cantajuegos: it is a series of CDs/DVDs very popular in Spain, with children classical children songs interpreted in a modern way. In the DVDs the singers (together with children) perform the songs accompanied with gestures that kids find fun to imitate.
- I also found the music I listened to as a child as download in amazon: Teresa Rabal, Enrique y Ana, Los payasos de la tele
- Ruidos y ruiditos from Judith Akoschky, a collection of CDs with classical children songs interpreted in a lovely way.

TV
- On the website of Antena 3 they offer a lot of children TV series online

Audiobooks:
Here so far unfortunately I have not been able to find as much as there is for example in English and German, so any tips in Spanish audiobools are welcomed!
- sonandocuentos.blogspot.de/ This blogs has a few audio versions of modern children books. My older son asks for them a lot on car rides.
- www.lalirondalla.es/blog/ audio audio books with stories by the author combined with music.

Fingergames:
Also not much here, when I compare to what I see in English or German :-(
- Tamara Chubarovsky (www.vozymovimiento.com): self created finger games, there are some free videos in youtube if you look for her name.

Books:
This are blogs writings about children books in spanish that I follow:
literatil.com/
biblioabrazo.wordpress.com/
librosdepapelblog.wordpress.com/
loleemosasi.blogspot.de/

I have my own blog about things I do with my kids, and I also write about the books I read to them
kikiricosas.blogspot.de/

I get so many of our books from Amazon, and Scholastic Books. I'm not sure if they ship overseas, though, or what the price might be if they do.

We watch videos on YouTube of Peppa Pig, Barbie, even Frozen songs in Spanish.

I follow several pages on Facebook; many are also blogs. Here are some:

From the page cuenta cuentos, I like the youtube page for Beatriz Montero.

Marta!!! Nice to find you here.

We know each other from the forum of mamaterap.

We do use YouTube a lot. Most of the series we saw when we were small are there. My kids are watching now Mazinger z and they are loving it.

Pinterest also has a looooot of resources, especially resources for learning to read and write. Lately I started to collect some in this board.
