Hiya, Mamas! Is this correct?
No, Gracias. Esta es para ti. For: No, thank you, it is for you. To my toddler when he offers me something. I took German in school, and my son thinks it's the funniest thing ever when I speak in German to him. My husband took Spanish, but remembers very little. I want to add some culture to his vocabulary.
Any other commonly used phrases that Mamas use all the time?
Thanks so much!
Wow! Great! Thanks Mamas!
Google translate baby! I use this for work ALL THE TIME.
No, thank you, it is for you.
No, gracias, es para usted.
Please stop climbing on the ceiling.
Go to bed.
I love you.
Por favor deja de subir en el techo.
Ir a la cama.
Te amo.
I do not reccommend Google translate. for instance you would never say "ir a la cama" ("To go to the bed") I put my son to bed with Buenas Noches te quiero mucho (Good night love you a lot) it is our part of our little routine and he says it back.
Your translation sounds right. Since it's your child, always use "tu" and "ti" as opposed to "usted."
Other phrases?
No Gracias. Es tuyo (it's yours)
Muchas Gracias (Thanks!)
Come (Ko-may - eat)
Que quieres? (What do you want?)
Que quieres comer? (What do you want to eat?)
Que quieres beber? (What do you want to drink?)
Calmate (Call-mah-tay --- calm down)
Buen hecho (Well done)
You can go to freetranslation.com. It does a great job of converting basic sentences back and forth from spanish to english or english to spanish etc...Even German. I use it for French and my kids know several french words :)
Yes, that is correct. You could also lose the "esta" and say: "No, gracias. Es para ti."
Ven aca. Come here
Bajate de alli. Get down from there
Te quiero. I love you
No me hagas enojar. Don't make me mad. :)
Vamanos. Lets go
Buenas noches. Good night
Dame la mano. Give me your hand
There's lots. Maybe try and find a spanish immersion preschool!

I didn't read other answers yet but here's my 2 cents!
It's said No gracias esto es para ti.
I love you - Te amo / te quiero
Well done - Bien hecho!
Good luck - Buena suerte!
Please help me - Ayudame por favor
There are preschools that offer spanish classes. You may want to look into one of those. Also, Google has some language translatIon thin - don't bother. A lot of times it's doing a literal translation. My 1r year old used it to do his spanish homework(w/o telling me!) & he got a lot of the answers wrong because it was giving him a word per word literal translation which isn't the way it's spoken/read/written.
Hope I helped & if you need some more translation your welcome to message me! Hasta luego! (It's like saying see you later!)
It could also be Esto es para ti. Depending on whether the object is masculine or feminine. There's also este. I can't remember when you use este vs. esto or esta. So, as suggested, you can just use "Es para ti," and avoid the potential error. :)
Check this link to one of my friends who has her own business for teaching various languages for children.
http://www.langonwnewjersey.com/
Lango offers dynamic and engaging Spanish, French and Mandarin classes and summer camps to kids across the U.S. Our classes teach children a new language in an immersion-based setting using songs, stories, games, dance -- even yoga to engage children in their new language.
Another phrase we use at home when things get really wild-and with a 3 yr old trying to be 12 yrs old it is often:
Placate (plah-cah-tay)--similar to placate or calm down.
My husband is from Mexico so we speak a lot of Spanish. We also say
Vamos a dormir--let's go to sleep.
