Yoto Mini

“Easily my kids favorite toy/thing to do. I believe this thing single-handedly drives my kid’s imagination. They hear stories, repeat them back to each other, sing, dance and ALL WITHOUT SCREENS. YOTO. We love you ❤️🤖”

“Or How I Got My Kids Off Screens. A low-tech audio player for kids. Incredibly simple and intuitive, and all the classics of children’s lit are available on cards you stick in the top with a satisfying click. You can also record your own stories and play back. Visuals are so low pixel and boring there is no reward for looking; it’s really an audio player. Genius, life-affirming, wonderful tech for anti-tech parents.”

“My kid's yoto was collecting dust until I realized I could connect it to Bluetooth et voila - now he can listen to his playlist on my apple music allll he wants and save the rest of our souls from hearing "pinball wizard" one more time.”

“Yoto mini/big yoto! Gosh. What an amazing screen free story device for kids.”

“We love this audio player that puts the kids in charge. Pop in a card, press the button, twist to change tracks or volume. They pick what they want to hear — stories, music, whatever — at home or in the car. 14-hour battery and works with headphones.”

“Truly the best-ever kids' "device"--we have almost no screen time at all now (like two movies/month) and it's lifechanging.”

“My daughter LOVES her Yoto mini, and we listen to it all the time! Highly recommend the mini with the case--so it is protected when your kiddo drops it.”

“My two and four year olds love these screen-free audio players. You can buy all kinds of stories and music, plus they have a great free daily podcast for kids. We take them in the car, on trips, and everywhere.”

“I'm sure I'm in good company recommending this. The equivalent of audiobooks and podcasts for kids. My son could fully operate it at 4. (Get the protector case thingy--your kid will probably drop it a lot.) (I ended up getting a card case too, which helps keep them from getting lost/is good when we travel.) (The cards come in multiple languages, which is great for multilingual families. You can also record your own content.)”

“we got them each a yoto mini for their third birthday and they are in constant use. they have to share the cards. disclaimer for the easily overstimulated (like me): they will both play a card at top volume and stand right next to each other. A good chance to practice box breathing in a nearby room.”

“we 👏 are 👏 a 👏 yoto 👏 house 👏 we got a mini last christmas to dip a toe in and quickly got the big one too. I find them much more aesthetically pleasing than Tonies, and my 2YO can work the whole thing himself, which he loves. we love the song cards (ms rachel MYO, wiggles, caspar babypants), daniel tiger, corduroy. the sleepy stories are so helpful for our bedtime routine. so excited to listen to longer books together as he gets older. we have the 2024 versions but the new ones seem cool!”

“Quiet time would not be possible without this MVP”

“This has been recommended 1 million times, but I can’t make this recommendation enough. It’s a must if your kids like to listen to stories.”

“For when nap time becomes quiet (ish) time”

“Kind of like a CD player for the new generation. Gives a manual feel but you can control the volume limits and make your own cards from an app.”

“I really love the way that this little audio player supports kids’ rhythms throughout the day. We use it as our alarm clock in the morning, listen to the Yoto daily podcast with the wonderful Jake during breakfast, cool out with our favorite stories at rest time during travel, and enjoy a meditation before bed pretty much every evening. It creates such a lovely sense of continuity, and the selection of stories music is pretty remarkable!”

“So glad we went for the Yoto Mini instead of the Toniebox. Super portable, functions as a speaker, and the cards are easy to store!”

“"We also love the Yoto mini player, which lets her choose her own stories and be her own little DJ at home or on the go." Valerie Quant [VALERIE'S FIVE]”
