Mini Ajs

Product Information

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. 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). The Yoto Mini only plays cards and podcasts from the app; it doesn’t have a nightlight or some of the other features on the original Yoto. Yoto players are suitable for all ages, and offering a huge variety of cards. Yoto allows kids to use their Yoto player for meditation, music, audiobooks, podcasts or educational content. This was one of the main reasons we chose the Yoto collection over the Tonies, because the cards promote engagement for a broader age range. The wonderful thing about the Yoto is how well it grows with kids. If your child has a tiny attention span, you can choose fun music and nursery rhymes, or super short stories to fill your collection of Yoto cards.

It’s a portable audio player that has been on many cross-country flights in our family. It’s truly the perfect size! Yoto Mini has a battery life of 20 hours, whereas the Yoto original has a shorter battery life of 10 hours. These long hours of battery life make it perfect for long trips. How does Yoto Mini work? 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!) 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 Yoto Mini gets charged with a USB-C cable, and then it will hold a charge for 18-20 hours, depending on whether or not you’re using WiFi with it. Yoto Mini’s Sound QualityMost technology is not suited to toddlers, but there’s no “screen time” that requires mindfulness here. It’s the perfect toy for younger children because the cards are incredibly sturdy and not the least bit dangerous for kids who love to explore. 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 However, the original Yoto is really great if you’re looking for one tool to do a bunch of features. Being able to use one device for both entertainment and sleep training is pretty special. You’ve got to remember that Yoto isn’t going for picture quality. This is a toy that’s meant to reduce screen time, not increase it! Does Yoto Mini need WiFi?

Kids can wear headphones with them, which makes it a great tool for long car rides or flights. At the same time, we use ours for daily use at bedtime and bath time. Use the sleep training feature by adjusting sleep time and wake time on the original Yoto (not a feature of the Mini)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.
