Inside: Spanish colors songs for kids on YouTube.
Last week in my Saturday songs series I shared our favorite songs for numbers. This week is all about colors! I really love these options and they will get your kids identifying the colors in Spanish in no time.
TOP SPANISH COLORS SONGS ON YOUTUBE FOR KIDS
Most of these are meant to teach the colors to Spanish learners, but native speakers will enjoy them too.
If you are looking for further activities to teach the colors, you might want to check out my preschool lesson for the colors in Spanish. I’ve got stories, videos links, and games, all for little ones.
1. CANCIÓN DE LOS COLORES
Toobys for the win again! Wonderful graphics and music in this song.
2. COLORES
Sweet, simple song about the colors that also includes “me gusta.”
3. VEO ALGO AZUL
Written as a sort of “I spy” game, this is a highly comprehensible song that also includes an interactive guessing part.
4. VEO ALGO ROSADO
This is another version of the song above!
5. ARCO IRIS
This is a bilingual song that goes through the rainbow of colors.
6. COLORES, COLORES
This song goes through the colors, with a profession for each color (it would have been nice to show women doing some of the things, but still a nice song).
7. LOS COLORES WITH BASHO & FRIENDS
If you have older kids that don’t like anything that feels “babyish,” Basho & Friends is a good option.
8. DE COLORES
This one isn’t actually a “Spanish colors song,” but an authentic folk song. I love this version by Joan Baez, and the mariachi version below.
If you prefer a song to sing without videos, this one sung to the tune Frère Jacques is easy to learn as well!

Yes, just added them! We love Super Simple Spanish too!
Thank you for this! I play ukulele to provide music and action songs for a bilingual play and learn library program and have been trying to build up my blingual song repetoire. The Los Colores song will fit in very nicely with or without the ukulele accompaniment.
