Spanish Cartoons for Kids
If you’re raising bilingual kids in Spanish and English, you’ve probably heard how powerful screen time can be when used intentionally. Watching cartoons in Spanish is one of the easiest—and most fun—ways to immerse your kids in the language at home.
Spanish cartoons have been such a great resource for my kids since they started learning to speak Spanish. Neither my husband nor I speak Spanish ourselves, and our children’s exposure is limited to just a few hours per week, so we have had to look for outside resources.
We use Spanish apps, flash cards, lots of different games and activities to help us, but fun Spanish cartoons have also been a great way to give our kids that little extra exposure to the Spanish language too. Here are some of our favourite cartoons in Spanish that can be found on Youtube. Some can also be found on Netflix too.

1. Minimalitos
Minimalitos is a colorful and fun Spanish cartoon for kids based on little animal friends who go to kindergarten together. They play, sing, and learn and have fun together. Episodes are on the Argentinian Paka Paka channel which also includes other Spanish cartoons.
