Kids

If your family is planning a road trip, consider Yoto, a screen-free smart toy and audio platform for children. Mom and dad will be happy to have their phones and listening choices back while the kids are entertained with their new device.

 

The Yoto experience is built around content cards that can be popped into the Yoto Player. Each card unlocks stories, activities and podcasts specifically made to let kids’ imaginations wander. The content ranges from classics, like Winnie the Pooh; modern favorites, including Diary of a Wimpy Kid; sleep content to help ease kids asleep, like Magical Bedtime Meditation; and more. Kids can even make their own content cards!

 

With the free-to-download Yoto App, parents can manage the Yoto Player’s controls and settings from their phone. The app also acts as a library for the content.

 

Yoto’s headphones mean kids can tune in to their favorite Yoto content anywhere, anytime! The Yoto Player retails for $99.99, including a magnetic charger and welcome card. Pricing for cards varies.
