However, finding appropriate songs in Spanish for your specific needs might be tricky. Not all children's music is helpful when you are just trying to teach them the basics. Children's music in Spanish is not the only genre you need to add exposure to the language through music, especially if you have older children at home or if you are learning Spanish along with them.
​
Here are some Spanish playlists on Spotify that I have created for you to explore different artists, find your favorite Spanish songs, and hopefully get inspired to create your own playlist on Spotify to spark the Spanish. All songs included are clean songs in Spanish for the whole family, and most promote positive messages. The nursery rhymes in Spanish and songs to introduce basic Spanish vocabulary have been carefully curated to offer you options that are simple, easy, fun and short.
