For busy mums, dads, and anyone trying to sneak in some language learning while wiping yogurt off the wall.

If you're anything like me, you want to expose your kids to the Filipino language—but life gets busy. One of the easiest (and most fun!) ways to do it? Sing nursery rhymes together! These catchy tunes aren’t just entertaining—they sneak in new words, rhythm, and cultural goodness.

Whether you're in the car, doing dishes, or trying to avoid a meltdown in the grocery line... these songs are your new besties. Bonus? Most of them are on YouTube!

💃 6. Salamin, Salamin by BINI

Okay, this one’s technically for us mums (hello, confidence boost!), but who says toddlers can’t enjoy a dance party too? Great for when you need a pick-me-up.

Don’t worry if you don’t know all the words—just sing. Your child will pick up the sounds and rhythm of Filipino naturally. And hey, screen time in moderation can actually be a great learning tool (especially when it involves dancing in the living room!).
