I have no idea of this stuff you mentioned. From our experience, the earlier you let your son immerse in the language environment, the better the result. In your case, I suppose the materials come with both CD and song lyrics (or books). Since your son is still small, you may play the putonghua CD to him regularly. He will get used to the language and when he is old enough, he will try to utter the sounds. You (or your spouse) may then read the accompanying book(s) with him. Try to make it lively and interesting and relate it to our daily lives, e.g. the sun, the moon, cat and dog, etc. And during the big festivals such as CNY or Mid-Autumn you can name the related stuff such as 餃子, 紅包, 燈籠, 月亮, etc.

Any experience with 快樂幼兒華語? I am looking for something for my little one who is turning one.

where can I buy this nei???
I wish to make it clear that "item 2" in my previous post refers to "小寶寶學漢語" which I think is more suitable to kids from infants to toddlers instead of big kids over 4 or 5 years of age.
I've checked with my wife that we bought exactly the same set of CD/books as mentioned by olima, i.e. "唱歌學普通話" by 小人國(廣州)兒童合唱團. It has three levels as 初級, 中級 & 高級 (each level having 2 CDs and 1 song book).
olima, we haven't limited our kid to elementary level, but let him pick up the one he wishes. Therefore, he has listened to inter. and advanced levels as well (we allow him to place the wanted CD into the CD player. The result is quite promising. During the CNY, he always sang "賀年歌" (his teacher taught it at school too) ...."恭喜恭喜恭喜你呀".
Item 2--聽歌學普通話,有分不同級別的。我囝囝(快3歲)聽的是初級,歌曲有數字歌,生日快樂等,至於中級,會深d,如鳳陽花鼓,我曾買中級送給一個美國朋友(小朋友為age 7 and 5)。

I think item 2 will be too simple for 5-year-old kids. The pin-yin is structured and quite boring if delivered not in a lively manner. As Olima said, it is best to inspire your son's motivation by, say, letting him listen to the putonghua songs (best to be sung together with parents). The pin-yin matter can be left at a later stage when your son has the interest in the language.
