Mini Ajs

Product Information

You can choose between seven vibrant colours to personalise your family's Yoto Mini or to help you distinguish between two siblings' audio players. Our family goes on quite a few long trips. We fly several times a year to see family and also do a 4 hour drive to see my parents every 4-6 weeks. In an ideal scenario, all three of my kids would have their own Yoto Mini and share a great big collection of cards. I would love that, because they would be quietly entertained, getting smarter all the way, and it would cut down on their screen time.

I think it’s a great deal, if your family loves the toy half as much as we do. The Yoto app is always easy to use. Concluding Thoughts for this Yoto Mini Review 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. 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. The number one favorite toy in our household used to be the Yotooriginal audio player. I loved it so much that I wrote an entire Yoto player reviewabout it. And then I wrote another post about our favorite Yoto cards, too! (Spoiler – While we love all our cards, my favorites are the blank cards!) If you’ve got a voracious reader who is into chapter books, you can scoop up cards like the Secret Garden, Anne of Green Gables, the Magic Treehouse Collection, or any of the Roald Dahl books. Using The Yoto App

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. The award winning Yoto players allow kids to play audio for fun or learning with the absent of cameras, screens or microphones. Providing a fun and healthy alternative to screens. Kids can build up their library to include their favourite stories and characters, and enjoy the freedom of selecting what they want to listen to, in a safe way. 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 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. It’s a great way to serve up great entertainment to your kids without putting a screen in front of them. Our kids listen to the Yoto mini in the bathtub, while doing chores, and on long car rides. What is the difference between Yoto and Yoto Mini?

The Yoto Mini is a wonderful toy for kids between ages 18 months and 12 years old. I have a more mature 7 year old girl who has always loved stories. I cannot imagine her giving up her Yoto obsession until she’s at least 12.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). I actually love the Yoto Mini for toddlers because the yoto mini’s size is perfect for small hands. The only downside is that once in a while, the card slot will end up with a coin in it, but it’s large enough that you can usually dig things out with a paper clip.

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. Use the sleep training feature by adjusting sleep time and wake time on the original Yoto (not a feature of the Mini) The Yoto Mini works like the original Yoto in this way. You need WiFi to set up the Yoto Mini at first, and then Wifi is needed anytime a brand new card is put in. After any physical cards have been played through once, you never need Wifi again. That’s what makes the Yoto Mini so cool! Kids can listen the first time at home, and then easily listen to stories on an airplane, in the car, or anywhere that WiFi is normally a barrier to entertainment!saw the launch of the Yoto mini, a smaller travel sized screen free speaker for day trips and holidays. If you’re interested in my review of the best Yoto cards (sorted by age group), I’ve got ya covered! I wrote all about our 27 favorite cards. Does Yoto Mini need to be plugged in?
