A lot of the Disney movies have English, French, and Spanish language tracks and even subtitles in those languages. Of course, there is also music in Spanish.
I also really like the puppet idea.

And, fear not, Christine, your son will begin to speak Spanish again. Funny how children go through their phases of wanting to play with one toy for hours on end, and then act as if he never even cared for that toy one month later.

It will be the same with his Spanish provided you and your husband continue the positive Spanish connections.

And I love the puppet connection…that is why so often times a puppet is used in therapy sessions, counseling sessions and language sessions … children respond to puppets with no inhibitions and all walls down. As an elementary and preschool teacher, I swear by puppets!

Happy Educating! ¡Sea feliz educando!
