It\u2019s been an absolute gamechanger for my preschooler and toddler,<\/a> who now both have Yoto devices and endless tapes which they love to listen to at home, on the road in the car, on planes and before bed.<\/p>\n

The Green Button<\/a> gives kids a new way to jump straight into up to 20 of their favourite audio titles for day and night.<\/p>\n

Once set up in the Yoto App, kids can twist, press and play their favourite titles without having to insert a Yoto Card.<\/p>\n

Playlists can be created by adults on the Yoto App with their favourite titles and free content from their library.<\/p>\n

Then the audio is ready on the Yoto Player 4th Gen and Yoto Mini 4th Gen without always needing a Yoto Card to hand.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not just for favourite physical cards – the Green Button can also be configured as a shortcut to digital-only cards and free bonus audio that is available on the App, from soundscapes to toothbrush timers.<\/p>\n

As families\u2019 Yoto libraries grew, so did the need for a quicker way for children to find their favourites.<\/p>\n

Listening to community feedback, Yoto designed the update around one simple idea: making best-loved content easier for kids to access independently, wherever they are \u2013 at home, at their grandparents\u2019 house or further afield.<\/p>\n

At bedtime, families might choose lullabies, white noise, Yoto Sleep Radio or a soothing story.<\/p>\n

The all-new night light panel<\/a> on the Yoto Player 4th Gen can also provide bedtime and Ok-to-Wake cues for your child.<\/p>\n

Choose from seven colours to create a calming bedtime environment or signal when it\u2019s time to get up.<\/p>\n

Future free software updates will also introduce dynamic lighting that creates visual effects to complement what children are listening to.<\/p>\n
