First Finnish cartoons/videos?

Post by qgil » Sun Oct 26, 2008 8:40 am

We are looking for something audiovisual to help my 2-3 year old kids learning Finnish. They go to a regular Finnish kindergarten but none of the parents speaks Suomi and we feel this could help them. We have alrady a multilingual situation at home, so adding a third language inside the house is kind of tricky.

In fact at the begginning we were more concerned about them not getting quite strong in the languages of their parents, so we found excellent videos. They love it and indeed they have helped them. Now the problem is that our bigger son seems less interested about Suomi, and we thought that excellent videos in Finnish for very little ones might help.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Indeed, there is plenty of content there and some of it looks like very well suited for the very little ones. Thanks!

Do you know whether is it possible to get some of that (or similar) through downloads or DVDs? Everything there seems to go through streaming. I don't feel quite sure about sitting them in front of the TV already but I definitely would like to avoid having them at their age regularly in front of a laptop.

Even myself would like some computer rest after the many hours spent every day always-on. :)
