Product Information

Yoto create fun, innovative audio devices for 'life's greatest adventure - Childhood'. Offering children connected, screen-free audio devices that they are fully in control of with physical smartcards. The cards are like heavy duty credit cards, and they hold stories and music. You can buy excellent cards for any age group from toddlers up through about age 12. In fact, I even wrote a post about all our favorite Yoto cards for each age group.

In our family, both devices get daily play, and I’m glad I’m not forced to choose! Do I Need Yoto Accessories? You can choose between seven vibrant colours to personalise your family's Yoto Mini or to help you distinguish between two siblings' audio players. Yoto players are suitable for all ages, and offering a huge variety of cards. Yoto allows kids to use their Yoto player for meditation, music, audiobooks, podcasts or educational content. This was one of the main reasons we chose the Yoto collection over the Tonies, because the cards promote engagement for a broader age range. The wonderful thing about the Yoto is how well it grows with kids. If your child has a tiny attention span, you can choose fun music and nursery rhymes, or super short stories to fill your collection of Yoto cards.Full disclosure: we don’t currently own any of these accessories above, and we LOVE our Yoto player and Yoto Mini. We have an older zip-up carrying case for our cards that’s pictured throughout my post about our favorite Yoto cards. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find it anywhere for you guys. I thought it was a great product. Update: She’s now 9 and listens to her Yoto Mini regularly, especially when she gets gifted a new chapter book. I think any older children would enjoy a Yoto, but especially those who don’t already use screens at home. Kids can wear headphones with them, which makes it a great tool for long car rides or flights. At the same time, we use ours for daily use at bedtime and bath time. saw the launch of the Yoto mini, a smaller travel sized screen free speaker for day trips and holidays. Another difference is how it’s charged. The original Yoto sits on a special charger; whereas the Yoto Mini uses a standard USB-C, making it easier to juice up anywhere you go (including the car).

The Yoto Mini only plays cards and podcasts from the app; it doesn’t have a nightlight or some of the other features on the original Yoto. If I could only choose one player for our family, I’d probably choose the Yoto Mini. While it’s cool to have some of the nightlight and okay-to-wake features available on the original Yoto player, the portability and charging features on the Yoto Mini are just too excellent to ignore.

Gain access to free content, including podcasts and radio stations that can be streamed through the Yoto players The only downside is that only a handful of their cards are part of Yoto Club each month. Many times, I’m really itching for my kids to enjoy a particular card and we have to pay extra for it. Usually, I just make them choose from the selection in the Club. Everything about the Yoto Mini is smaller, and that’s the main difference. The Yoto Mini is meant to be handheld even for little bitty hands. The box is 1.57 x 2.76 x 2.76 inches and only 9.6 ounces; whereas the original Yoto is a bulkier 4.3 x 4.3 x 4 inches and weighs 2.4 pounds. Most technology is not suited to toddlers, but there’s no “screen time” that requires mindfulness here. It’s the perfect toy for younger children because the cards are incredibly sturdy and not the least bit dangerous for kids who love to explore.
