We wanted to get our youngest away from screens on car journeys and plane trips, but she’s still too young to read, and colouring, writing, or stickers just didn’t really work in the car.
After a bit of research, we found the Yoto Mini, and it’s been brilliant. It’s a bit like the Walkman we had as children, but instead of tapes or CDs, it uses cards.
What I love most is that she can see the pictures on the cards and choose what she wants to play next, and then the tiny screen shows her which song or story is about to start. So she even gets to make that choice too.
There are hundreds of song and story cards to choose from, ranging from nursery rhymes for toddlers to Lord of the Rings for older children. We even found a tooth brushing timer, which is so handy when we’re away from home.
It also works with headphones, so it doesn’t disturb other people, but it can also be used like a mini speaker for dancing around the bedroom or hotel room.
