If you are a regular reader of Mudpie Fridays, you will know that we are huge fans of the Yoto Mini player. There is a lot of love about the audio player that works with physical cards. You can read our full review – Yoto Mini Review for more information or third-generation Yoto Player Review for a discount code. But one of the best things is that Yoto is always bringing new audio cards to the yoto card store. Although Harry really enjoys the story cards I am always on the lookout for additional audio content for our road trip. This blog post specifically focuses on the educational activities and educational yoto cards available. If you are looking for Yoto Player fiction cards then head over to: The Best Yoto Cards for 5-8 year-olds and for older kids The Best Yoto Cards for 9+ years for a wider selection of Yoto cards UK.
