One of my favorite parts of Halloween is the lead up–reading spooky stories, carving pumpkins, and otherwise getting the kids excited for one of our favorite days of the year.  We love watching Halloween specials when have the time to sit down and enjoy them, so I thought I would share the list of Halloweeny programs and movies that your littles will enjoy! Our 5 year old cannot handle real spooky/scary shows, so these are right up his alley. Do you have any others your family enjoys?

Netflix

Room on the Broom is available in Spanish. It’s short (roughly 26 minutes), sweet, and funny.

Supermonstruos is great year round, but especially this time of year with their Halloween special.

Pocoyo Halloween: Pelis de Terror

Los Tres Bandidos

Halloween with Llama Llama (S1 Ep. 11)

Alvin y las ardillas conocen al hombre lobo

Mickey’s El club de los villanos

Las historias espeluznantes de Masha

Los detectives de la casa del arbol (one of my favorite new Netflix series for kids!) has a show about ghosts–not really Halloween specific, but could do the trick! (S1 Ep. 8)

Hulu

Jorge el Curioso has a sweet hourlong Halloween special that my kids have enjoyed every year.

Manny a la Obra also dedicates half an episode to Halloween (S1 Ep. 25).

Leaves are changing, the air is getting crisper, and with winter fast approaching comes (at least in our house) a bit more screen time for those days the weather does not cooperate. So what better time is there to share some of the great programs for young kids available in Spanish on Netflix and Hulu right now?

Netflix

Zoobabu Kids can learn about animals from all over the world as they try to solve sweet riddles.

Our kids don’t watch a ton of TV, but when we travel (especially on planes) that goes out the window. We got our kids the Fire Kids Edition Tablet and in the days before our trip I’ll usually spend some time downloading Spanish kids’ shows available on Amazon for free through Prime (and a handful of their favorite shows that were not available for free). You can also check out my previous post on how to filter Amazon for Spanish language videos. (This post contains affiliate links.)

I used to be pretty anti-tablet for our kids (just a personal choice!), but about a year ago we left N and E with a new babysitter, while our regular (amazing) nanny was on vacation. One night I came home from work and N asked me to put on some music, after which he proceeded to dance ‘like the video,’ but only after we ‘paid’ him. I never found out what video he may have seen with that pinch hitting babysitter, but it took me a good 6 weeks to convince him it was ballet. In any case, since then I’ve tried to control these tech-savvy kiddo’s video intake and I found that this tablet had all the parental controls I was looking for (it automatically turns off their access at certain times or after a certain amount of videos/games/books too!). It’s been an added bonus that I can load it up with Spanish shows and they still feel like they have control over what they watch.

In any case, I thought I would share! We’re gearing up for a short vacation this summer and I’ll be loading their tablets with Spanish shows once again. Stay tuned for my list of shows that are available, so you can avoid the (embarrassingly long) amount of time it sometimes takes me to find what I need.

And if you’re interested, it looks like Amazon has some current deals on the tablets (links with details posted below). We got the kids’ version because it comes with the cover,  1 year of “FreeTime Unlimited” (which basically offers access to a ton of kid-friendly books, videos, apps & games, though most are in English) and the 2 year guaranty that whatever your kids do to it, you can get a new one (that was the big draw for us). But you can just as easily turn on the parental controls using a ‘regular’ Kindle Fire. Let me know if you have a different system you enjoy more! We’re always open to new ideas.
