Cinco Chanchito (5 Little Piggies)

The other day Chiquitita & I were driving and I heard a little voice "este chanchito, wheee!".  She was singing 5 little piggies to herself in Spanish like I do with her.  It was so cute!

Here's our translation if you'd like to play:

Este chanchito se fue al mercado (big toe)
Este chanchito quedó en casa.
Este chanchito comio mucho,
pero este chanchito no comio nada.
Y este chanchito se fue "whee whee whee" hasta la casa. (tickles on the feet!)

I love that Chiquita is starting to repeat the rhymes and songs we sing together!  What rhymes do you do with your child?

    It's so fun to hear them recite rhymes and sing! I learned that rhyme in Spanish as Este dedito compró un huevito. If you're interested I have a post on it on Spanish Playground http://www.spanishplayground.net/spanish-game-learners-este-dedito/
    I love your Spanish for Preschoolers articles! Gracias por compartir.
