Women Talking delves deeper into Yoto
Yoto is an innovative, screen-free audio platform that encourages kids to use their imaginations while they listen, learn, and play. The Yoto Player and Yoto Mini are designed to be safe, interactive, and inspiring, giving children the tools to dive into an endless world of storytelling, music, podcasts, meditation, educational and creative activities, and so much more.
Here’s what makes Yoto the perfect choice for growing young minds:
Independent, Ad-Free Listening
Yoto keeps your child’s listening experience free from ads and intrusive content. The Yoto Player puts kids in control, so you no longer need to hand over your smartphone or worry about what they might stumble upon online. Instead, children can independently explore over a thousand Yoto Cards filled with stories, music, activities, and more—all selected by you or your little one.
Whether it’s bedtime stories for your toddler or educational podcasts for your older child, Yoto offers endless opportunities to nurture creativity and confidence.
The Yoto Player (3rd Generation) is suitable for kids ages 3 and up and can store over 600 hours of offline audio. We look at some of its standout features:
- Offline Listening: Once a Yoto Card is downloaded via WiFi, your child can listen to it anywhere—whether on long car rides, in pillow forts, or even outdoors.
- Bluetooth Speaker: It also works as a Bluetooth speaker, giving you the flexibility to play music or audio from any Bluetooth-enabled device.
- Durable Design: Yoto Cards are made from food-safe plastic, tough enough to survive even the roughest play. And don’t worry if one goes missing—your entire Yoto Card collection is backed up in the Yoto App.
- Make Your Own Yoto Cards: You can put whatever you like on the Welcome Card that comes free with every Yoto Player or Yoto Mini, and you can purchase additional packs of Make Your Own cards for endless listening possibilities, from grandparents reading a favourite bedtime story to albums of music you already own in other digital formats.
- Room Thermometer
- Night Light,Clock & OK-to-Wake function
With easy parental controls through the Yoto App, the Yoto Player also helps parents guide their child’s listening habits while offering independence.
Yoto Mini is the ultimate portable version of the Yoto Player, designed to allow kids to bring their audio adventures with them wherever they go. With the functionality of the larger Yoto Player but in a more compact form, the Yoto Mini is perfect for road trips, travel, or on-the-go learning. Kids can pop in a Yoto Card and listen to their favourite audiobooks, music, or educational content while moving through their day.
Building Confidence & Creativity at Every Stage
Yoto is designed to grow with your child:
- Ages 0-2: Parents can operate the player and curate a collection of soothing lullabies, bedtime stories, and calming sounds to help their little ones wind down for sleep or nap time.
- Ages 3-5: At this stage, kids are eager to explore. With Yoto, they can start choosing what they want to listen to, helping build their confidence and motor skills as they interact with physical Yoto Cards.
- Ages 6-12+: As your child grows, so do their listening options. They can create personalised routines, discover new topics, and dive deeper into music, stories, and educational content.
Sweeter Dreams & Calmer Mornings
Yoto isn’t just for play—it’s a tool for routine and relaxation. With over 90% of parents agreeing that Yoto has made bedtime easier, the Yoto Player is perfect for those nighttime wind-down moments. Whether it’s listening to an audiobook or a guided meditation, kids can find calm before bed and start the day feeling refreshed.
How to Set Up Yoto
Setting up your Yoto Player or Mini is simple. Download the Yoto App for iOS or Android, follow the easy setup instructions, and in just a few minutes, your child can begin their audio adventure. While Yoto requires WiFi for initial setup and downloading Yoto Cards, the majority of listening can be done offline—offering true freedom for your little explorer.
