TV series in Spanish and German for very small children

I’m keen to find some online video resources for my preschooler to support his language learning. Ideally something pitched at very small children - a Night Garden or Twirlywoos equivalent in Spanish or German.
Does anyone know any good series and where I could find them?
TIA!

Someone posted the other day about changing the language settings on Netflix (or similar subscription service) and just showing the regular cartoons but in French or whatever language they wanted. I would imagine that you would be able to do something like that for Spanish or German too.

That is a BRILLIANT idea - will investigate! Thank you

Peppa pig is called Peppa Wutz in German, lots of episodes available on youtube you can also search for peppa pig en español and get lots of results. There are also Paw Patrol episodes in both languages- we just search for paw patrol deutsch or español and see what comes up. You could also try Pippi Langstrumpf/Pippi Calzaslargas (pippi longstocking).

Interested in this thread?

Pocoyo and Pepa Pig, both in Spanish. (It's how I learned!)

Also, if you're on facebook you may want to post on the group raising bilingual/multilingual children. A lot of people in that group are teaching their children german or spanish and I have seen people asking for similar reccommendations in the past.

You will find most pre school series available in German like Thomas the Tank Engine. My bi-lingual daughter found it very weird though and refused to watch something she already knew in English.

Have a look on the German Kika-channel, basically CBeebies in German for inspirations. I think Kikakaninchen is for the youngest children.

There’s loads of those YouTube toy unwrapping videos. DD began mimicking a little Ukrainian girl doing Elsa videos that she’s chosen herself so I’ve started her on some Spanish ones so I have half a clue what they’re saying!
