One melody, repeated
Under-threes learn exact patterns. Every verse repeats the same melody and changes just one thing. At four, that repetition becomes the joy of guessing what comes next.
The body learns first
The dance moves are written into the lyrics: stomps, jumps, big arms. Gross-motor moves a two-year-old can actually do.
Always ending calm
No walls of noise, no frantic cuts. Every song brings the energy down at the end: nighttime, wind, water or a rainbow.
Real paleontology facts
Rommy has feathers because Velociraptor had feathers. Peter isn't a dinosaur. Every video includes a verifiable “fun fact for parents”.

FAQ
What parents ask us most
What is Dony and the Dinos?
A bilingual (English and Spanish) music series by Cheche Studios, a studio in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico. Short dinosaur songs for babies and toddlers ages 0 to 4 that teach colors, numbers, movement and first words.
What ages are the songs for?
Ages 0 to 4. The base layer (rhythm, sounds and movement) works from babyhood; four-year-olds enjoy an extra layer of jokes, real facts and anticipation.
Where can I watch and listen?
The videos are on the YouTube channel @DonyYLosDinos, set as Made for Kids. The album Canciones Cretácicas en Chicxulub, with 18 songs in English and Spanish, is on Spotify.
Are the songs in English or Spanish?
Both. Every song has an English and a Spanish version, and some, like What Color Is the Dino?, use the other language as a call-and-response word to learn vocabulary.
What kind of music is it?
Mexican cumbia with Yucatecan jarana and marimba, at a calm pace and with no harsh sounds. Every song ends calm.
Why Chicxulub?
Because it's real: in Chicxulub, Yucatán, the meteorite that marked the end of the age of dinosaurs hit 66 million years ago. That's where the band lives.
Do you have free materials?
Yes. The Printables page has bilingual color cards, a memory game and a dinosaur expert certificate to print for free.
