A Christmas Gift That Keeps on Giving: Discover the New Yoto Player

Looking for a present that can be enjoyed long after the Christmas decorations come down? The Yoto Player is a screen-free audio player designed to grow with children, bringing stories, music, learning and bedtime listening together in one child-friendly device.

The latest Yoto Player and Yoto Mini are made for children aged three and over. They’re simple for little hands to use, with physical controls that let children choose what to listen to and enjoy a little more independence throughout the day.

Stories, songs and a new Green Button

Yoto Cards remain at the heart of the experience. Children pop a card into the player to hear a story, album, podcast or activity. With more than 1,000 titles to explore, there’s plenty to suit different ages and interests, from Julia Donaldson and Disney to Roald Dahl and Harry Potter.

The new fourth-generation players add another way to listen: the Green Button. Once an adult has set it up in the free Yoto App, children can twist and press to browse a personal playlist of up to 20 favourite titles, without needing to find the right card. Families can set up different favourites for daytime and night-time, making it easy to have a podcast ready for breakfast and a calming story queued up for bedtime.

Children can also make listening personal. The included Make Your Own Card can be linked to audio in the app, including recordings made by family members. Imagine a grandparent reading a favourite story or leaving a special message for Christmas morning.

A helping hand with family routines

The Yoto Player is designed for more than story time. Its full-panel night light, clock and okay-to-wake cues can support bedtime and morning routines. Families can also find free podcasts, radio, sleep sounds and timers in the app, alongside controls for managing the player.

Yoto says its players have no camera, microphone or adverts. The app lets grown-ups manage settings, while children can listen through the player’s own speaker or compatible headphones.

Ready for home or the journey

The Yoto Player 4th Gen is the larger home option, with stereo sound and a built-in night light. The smaller Yoto Mini 4th Gen is designed for travel. It has a water- and dust-resistant design, making it a handy companion for car journeys, holidays and visits to family.

Both new models have 64GB of storage for more than 1,000 hours of audio, so compatible content can be downloaded for offline listening. Each also comes with a USB-C charging cable and a Make Your Own Card.

The Yoto Player 4th Gen costs £119.99, while the Yoto Mini 4th Gen costs £89.99. Check Yoto’s website for current availability and details:

The Yoto Player and Yoto Mini: A world of screen-free kids’ audio. Ideal for Christmas Gifting

The gift that keeps on giving 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 an amazing 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 Harry PotterTM series. 

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!

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 but 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.
