About Yoto Play
Yoto is a British audio platform that gives children their own screen-free way to listen to stories, music, and educational content. Children simply slot a card into the player and take it from there, no screens, no ads, no microphone, no camera. Cards cover everything from nursery rhymes and Peppa Pig to Roald Dahl, Beatrix Potter, classical music, and science adventures, all available in English and French. The Yoto Player is designed for home, with room-filling sound, a built-in nightlight and sleep timer. The portable Yoto Mini goes everywhere else: cars, trains, planes, restaurants. At Eeny Meeny, we love how Yoto gives children real quiet time to recharge, build their curiosity, and discover a genuine love for learning, all on their own terms.
