20 + Top YouTube Channels in Spanish for Kids

Exposure is the most important thing when raising a bilingual child.

Genuine, interactive exposure is what will ignite your child’s curiosity and desire to learn. Today I am going to share 20 YouTube videos in Spanish for kids that will help supplement your child’s Spanish. 

My partner and I are raising bilingual our son Lennox in Spanish using the minority language at home approach. 

In my post, how I teach my toddler Spanish, I mention seven techniques that have helped me raise him in Spanish as a nonnative seaker. One of those techniques is through YouTube channels in Spanish for kids.

Although we use YouTube on occasion, I limit its use. Why?

For starters, the American Academy of Pediatrics does not recommend television for children under two. Most importantly, television is not a good language teacher for young children who require interactive language input to become passive bilinguals..

Nevertheless, YouTube and television can be a great SUPPLEMENT to language acquisition, especially through catchy, repetitive songs and animations.

Today, I want to share a list of 20 popular YouTube channels in Spanish with which you can SUPPLEMENT your child’s Spanish.

These channels are made for children up to age five. However, from personal experience, I can tell you that they are entertaining for older children as well.

When Lennox first started watching them, I used to go around the house singing the catchy tunes.

To sum things up, check out this list of 20 YouTube channels in Spanish for kids. Let me know in the comments below which channels you and your kiddos adore!
