Mandarhymes is a fun way for babies, toddlers, and children to get a bilingual start in life singing along to Mandarin Chinese nursery rhymes!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When my daughter was 2, I decided to learn Chinese with her. Initially, she was very resistant to new Chinese words and would demand, "No more Chinese, mommy!"

Thankfully, Chinese music won her heart over and sparked interest in listening to and speaking Chinese!

Teach Kids to Love Chinese with Music

Singing and dancing to Chinese music are fun and inviting ways to learn Chinese!

Warming up with Chinese translations of English songs

When my daughter had a strong preference for English, I first looked for Chinese translations of her favorite English songs, 小星星 (Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star) and 生日快乐 (Happy Birthday).

These familiar tunes bridged the difficult and daunting transition of learning Chinese.

Growing to love original Chinese music

Over time, we grew to love popular Chinese songs for kids.

我有一雙小小手 (Wǒ yǒu yī shuāng xiǎo xiǎo shǒu / I Have a Pair of Hands) and 一分钱 (Yī fēn qián / One Penny) is often on replay. My kids also listen to 讚美之泉 Stream of Praise music everyday!

Now, my daughter is 5 years old, and she loves to put on pretend concerts with her 2-year-old brother!

The kids will decide which CD to put in their CD player or request a song on my iPhone.

Then they grab markers to serve as imaginary microphones and start belting out Chinese tunes together!

Important Chinese vocabulary

Top Chinese Music Albums for Kids

Here is a list of our favorite, non-screechy Mandarin Chinese children's music albums which include over 100+ Chinese songs that you can explore!

I have low tolerance for nails-on-a-chalkboard voices and don't understand why children's songs are frequently off-pitch.

Which Chinese children's songs should my family learn first?

Although there are many options, please don't feel like you need to get all of them!

Instead, start with a one or two albums. Gradually expand your playlist as your family outgrows prior songs.

We have all of these Chinese children's songs but only listen to a few of the albums regularly.

Numbers 1-7 on the list are my children's favorites, and I've listed the soundtracks for those albums, which we consider must-haves!

For details of all albums, please lick on the links to preview each album in iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, and/or 喜马拉雅 Ximalaya FM.

I hope that your family can discover favorite Chinese songs and learn new lyrics together!
