Pin Pon Es un Muneco

Ian, my son still asks me to sing this canción infantil for him when I put him to bed.

One of the most important traditions we have at home is singing before bed time. I guess singing sooths our son, for me, it is a perfect time to keep Latin culture alive.

I guess Pin Pon became one of his favorite songs because I started altering the words to replace them with his name, and make Pin Pon Ian by singing: "Ian es un muñeco muy guapo y de cartón se lava la carita con agua y con jabón..." intead of "Pin Pon es un muneco..."

Tips when teaching this song:

  • Teach the complete song before you start replacing the words with your child's name.
  • Repetition is key.
  • Use this song when taking a bath or shower. It is the perfect time to sing and wash your face. Also bring a comb or peine to practice and act the entire song. Kids love acting!

    • Lyrics

    Pin Pon es un muñeco
    muy guapo y de cartón
    se lava la carita con agua y con jabón. Repeat

    Pin Pon siempre se peina con peine de marfil
    y aunque se hace tirones no llora ni se hace así. Repeat

    Pin Pon dame la mano
    con un fuerte apretón
    yo quiero ser tu amigo Pin Pon, Pin Pon, Pin Pon.

    Pin Pon dame la mano
    con un fuerte apreton
    que quiero ser tu amigo Pin Pon, Pin Pon, Pin Pon.

    This last verse is not included in the video
    Y cuando las estrellas comienzan a salir
    Pin Pon se va a la cama
    Pin Pon se va a dormir.
