Why they'll love it
Kids slide in a card and the story, song or music starts, with no screen and no ads. The full-panel night light and okay-to-wake cues help it work for bedtime and mornings too. It is an easy way to give a child more independence.
Perfect for
- Preschoolers and early readers who love stories
- Parents who want screen-free entertainment
- Kids who need help with a bedtime or wake-up routine
- Families who travel and want audio on the go
Good to know
- 16-hour battery and 64 GB of storage (1000+ hours of audio)
- 5 W stereo speaker, full-panel LED night light, okay-to-wake cues and clock
- Wi-Fi 6 dual-band, Bluetooth, USB-C plus wireless charging; works with Bluetooth and 3.5 mm headphones
- Parental controls in the app, and headphone volume is limited by default; a free 5 Minute Stories card is included
Our tip: Cards are sold separately, so pair the player with a card or two. The 4th Gen listed here is a pre-order shipping from Nov 2, so order early if it is for the holidays; the Yoto Mini is the portable, rugged alternative.
