Once in a while I download a youtube video for Jonah to watch. There are lots of great Czech cartoons for kids that I grew up watching on the internet. Some of them don't rely on language at all so Jonah can follow without knowing much Czech.
One of my favorite series is one called A je to! which means And It's Done! It's claymation of two guys who are friends and have a passion for building and fixing things and for inventing all kinds of crazy contraptions to do the most mundane tasks.
Here is one great episode entitled Tapety or Wallpaper. Note the bachelor lunch the main claymation hero is eager to eat is canned goulash. What a typical Czech.
Instead of this episode, I first downloaded another. I didn't realize it was one about winemaking. Well, it's European, I thought. So why wouldn't they make a claymation episode for kids about winemaking. But the more we watched, the more psychedelic the episode got. At the end, the two protagonists got so trashed, their vision tripled. I could not explain that one. Those wacky Czechs! You see for yourselves:
