Help child speak Spanish

Hi,
My 5 year old has a Spanish lesson once a week in school. Unfortunately, both OH and I do not speak Spanish. I can use Babelfish to help look up the Spanish equivalents of the words that are taught in school, eg. numbers, seasons, etc. However, we do not know how to pronounce the words.
Question: Is there anything on the Internet that we can use to learn how to pronounce the words correctly. Alternatively, is there any good CD/cassette or other methods to help child with pronounciation?
Thank you.

Here are some links for children's language learning resources which include Spanish:

If you have a DVD player, some programmes and films (particularly American ones) are dubbed into Spanish and so you can change the settings and let your little one learn this way too.0 -
I used a CD called earworms for last time I went to Spain
It gives basic Spanish at the start with full pronunciations
It does go a little more advanced towards the end of the CD.
It also came with a booklet that gave written examples of the phrases used on the CD
I got mine from Amazon for £15 but it seems to be on offer for just under £10 at the moment (Link below)

May I know how I can get the Dora the explorer magazine as my little one loves the programme.
BTW thank you to everyone who has replied. :T I will investigate a bit more regarding the CDs and links that have been recommended.

Not sure, it should be in your local newsagent every week/fortnight, its a new thing I believe.
If not your newsagent, try WHSmiths or a supermarket.
This is the advert thats been on TV, it might have a phone number or website.
