The revamped Yoto Player is now up for pre-order at £119.99, while the Gruffalo Granny card is already on sale for story-loving families.
Forget screens – the new 4th Gen Yoto Player is shaping up to be this year’s Christmas sensation for kids and parents alike. Priced at £119.99, the latest version of the family-favourite audio player is now available to pre-order, with dispatches set for October 15.
For many families, the Yoto Player has become a staple, especially at bedtime. One parent says it’s the only thing at the top of their son’s Christmas list, and with good reason. The device has been a daily fixture, offering a screen-free way for children to enjoy stories and music without the need for an iPad or tablet.
The new model keeps the beloved screen-free design but adds fresh features aimed at making it even more practical for busy households. Kids can simply pop in a Yoto Card to get started, and a new green button gives them more control over their listening, all on their own.
It’s not just for bedtime, either. The Yoto Player now comes with content for every part of the day – from Yoto Daily in the morning to music and stories in the afternoon, and soothing sleep sounds at night. There’s even a built-in night light for children who like a gentle glow as they drift off.
One hot pick for Christmas stockings is the new Gruffalo Granny card, available now. Julia Donaldson’s stories are a hit with families everywhere, and this latest card is tipped to be a repeat favourite, whether it’s for winding down or enjoying a quiet moment.
Parents say what sets the Yoto apart is its simplicity – kids can choose their own stories and music without needing help, and there’s no screen to worry about. While the £119.99 price tag might give some buyers pause, especially if they already own an older version, the new 4th Gen Yoto Player is being hailed as a gift that will be used all year round – not just forgotten after the festive season.
