YOTO PLAYERS..... SCREENS OFF, IMAGINATIONS ONThe gift that keeps on giving this Christmas is the Yoto Player. Supporting independent play, listening and learning from ages 3-12, the Yoto player grows with the whole family providing years of entertainment and learning to children at all different levels. Yoto is a kids’ audio player with a wide range of functions and features, including a programmable night light and clock; OK-to-wake settings; room thermometer; its own daily podcast; family radio stations; as well as endless hours of free stories, music, podcasts and sleep sounds.
Having skyrocketed to success since its launch on Kickstarter in 2017, the Yoto brand has gone from strength to strength – with hundreds of thousands of families around the world now enjoying Yoto. The Yoto Player keeps creative play, privacy and safety at its heart - it's ad-free with no microphones or cameras, and is packed with free audio and features for family life, designed to encourage kids to be more independent throughout their day.
Inspired by Montessori principles, the Yoto Player is activated via Yoto Cards, which are slotted into the audio player to play audiobooks, music, podcasts, and activities. There are over 1,000 cards to choose from, from Peppa Pig, Paw Patrol, Judith Kerr, Disney, Roald Dahl, Marvel, Star Wars and Enid Blyton to name just a few, as well as the recently added Harry Potter series just in time for Christmas. You’ll also find a whole catalogue of Yoto original stories with engaging content about our world, other cultures, languages, the solar system, animals, science, baking recipes and so much more. There really is a Yoto card for everyone’s Christmas stocking!
Not only does the Yoto Player keep little ones entertained throughout the day, it can also play a key role in better bedtimes. With features like a day-and-night clock, built-in nightlight, sleep radio and sounds, a sleep timer, alarms and sleep focussed Yoto cards, bedtime routines and wind downs have never been easier thanks to Yoto.
With 24 hours of play per charge the bluetooth-enabled Yoto Player also connects to the free Yoto App, allowing you to manage and customise your Player from your phone, also home to all of your cards and allowing you to control audio settings from the touch of a button. Never leaving you stuck when needed most, Yoto Player has USB-C fast-charging and wireless charging for choice and convenience and 32GB of storage for 600+ hours of audio for offline listening, meaning you can still listen to your favourite story away from home.
For those on the go, the Yoto Mini is the perfect, portable travel companion, allowing kids to expand their imagination as they explore the world. The petite Yoto Mini lets kids listen without limits, giving them the freedom to safely enjoy their favourite audio on the move. Yoto Mini, like its older sibling the Yoto Player, is controlled using physical Yoto Cards, and provides many of the same features in a much smaller handheld device. The compact size and impressive 14 hour battery life of the Yoto Mini makes it perfect for long car journeys, flights and family days out, providing children access to stories, music, podcasts, learning and more on the go.
The Yoto Player is retailing at £89.99 and the Yoto Mini at £59.99, both available at Yotoplay.com and on Amazon.
For those looking to kickstart their listening adventure straight out of the box, Yoto offer incredible value bundles that combine some of the most popular cards from their enormous catalogue with the latest Yoto players.
There truly is something for everyone, from dinosaur lovers to pre-school singalong fans, as well as the enchanting addition of bundles including the first three Harry Potter audiobooks, with a saving of up to 13% compared to buying the Yoto Player and cards separately.

WHAT DID WE SAY
As soon as we opened the packaging we were really impressed with this, he came in great quality red cotton drawstring bag and we were instatntly impressed by the superb quality and attention to detail. Quite often with these kind of toys the quality can be over looked for the purpose, however that is definately not the case here. The colours are bright and cheerful, the material is beautifully plush and soft and the attention to detail is fantastic. It is also much bigger than we thought too. We gave this to one of our kids who absolutley loves it and uses it to write down any little troubles they have, then while they are sleeping I tear the paper into pieces and leave some crumbs of paper in the sack from where trouble muncher has munched them. We honestly think every child should have a trouble muncher and at an incredible £10 they are incredible value and worth their weight in gold to help ease childrens worries.
