奇世界，奇音乐: We subscribe to this YouTube channel for the fun variety of nursery songs that are available. Both our toddler and baby enjoy watching and singing along to the Cantonese lyrics. It helps that many of the songs borrow their melody from common English nursery rhymes, so there's familiarity. The lyrics are not direct translations, so the "London Bridge" song could be sung about some birds falling into the water and washed away by the current.
天晴童谣 SUNSHINE NURSERY RHYME: This YouTube channel provides an assortment of songs and lessons that introduce Hong Kongnese culture to its audience of toddlers and preschoolers. We subscribe to it for some of the classic Cantonese nursery songs that the grandparents grew up with (i.e. 小太阳，小时候), which is also very visually attractive, melodic, and calming to our toddler. Perhaps, later on, our kids will be more interested in the lessons that introduce Chinese holidays or some storytime...we'll see.
CANTONESE FOR FAMILIES: This website is specifically tailored for biracial families (like us) with learning materials that are suitable for toddlers to middle school-ish. They include some religious-based content as well. It's definitely loaded with resources, but quite a lot to sift through, so a few run-ins with expired links, but still very comprehensive.
EVERYDAY CANTONESE FOR PARENTS: This little pamphlet-sized handbook captures many of the moments during the early stages of parenting - and enables the reader to communicate with their little ones in Cantonese. It caters to parents who are not native speakers themselves but want to speak it with their children nonetheless. Be warned: there are a few typos and mistranslations, but overall useful and comprehensive for years 0-3.
