Yoto Mini Review & Adventure in the Woods | AD

When we wake, hear the birds and see the sun Side by side our fears are done All the good times just begun Oh, we know what we have, let's hold on tight Found what we're looking for in life Call us crazy but things are finally right With you and I the future is bright And all good things are going to happen in 2022 hopefully for all of us In this week's video I'm actually going to be doing a review of our Yoto Mini Do you want to show Oscar? Our Yoto Mini And Oscar has joined me for this video because he's going to feature quite heavily in showing us how it works Because really it's a little player for you isn't it? You use it the most in the family And I actually did a whole review video on our Yoto Player, the big brother version of this I will link it above now and I'll link it in the description box But in today's video we're going to review the Yoto Mini So we were gifted the Yoto Mini just before Christmas And so we've had a good few weeks now to play with it And learn how to use it And really to be honest if you've already got a Yoto Player you don't really have to learn how to use it do you? It works just the same Do you want to show them how it works? Ok so we're going to first of all show you the basics of how it works And then we might talk about some of our favourite cards and our favourite features And then we're going to take you out on an adventure with us Because the Yoto Mini is really designed to be portable And like the Yoto Player you can still take it places, you can still take it in the car or whatever But it's a bit chunkier and heavier And this is designed to be nice and small and you can take it in the car with you and on adventures yeah? And we're going to go to the woods So we might take you with us to the woods And show you how we get on with it Ok so first of all Oscar will you show them how you turn it on? I need you out of the way You need me out of the way? Ok Hang on So you just press that little button there On the side And press it and wait for your sun to come up So you hold it down And then the little smiley face comes up Let go And you wait for your sun to come up And the time appears on the display doesn't it? Just like the Big Brother version has the same thing going on 12.26 In the daytime Put your favourite card in, which one's your favourite card? This So you get your card And you put it in that little slot there And then it goes Slop So this one's all like nursery rhymes isn't it? Yeah So there's nursery rhymes coming from this And you can turn the volume up And then when you've got a card in if you turn this one It switches between either the chapters if it's a book Or the songs if it's a song card Oscar has just left now He's done his little piece and he's over it So I just thought I would quickly go through some of the features Just so that you can see really clearly Why this is a great little investment if you have children So I'll just give you a little close up Focus So essentially you've got your speaker here You've got your display Which has the time during the day And it turns to Night time You can decide what time it switches to the moon On the Yoto app And then you've got these really just user friendly Dials This one as you can see a bit clearer Is the volume Can you see it only is going half way up You can use the Yoto app To make sure that it doesn't go too loud But you can change it really easily You just flick it on your app Put it to max volume and it will straight away Allow the Yoto player to go to max volume So that's really handy This one when it's got nothing in it Doesn't do anything But if you click it You then get radio And I've set it up to have radio And then sleepy time radio Which we just stick on as a little reminder to the children Just before nap time Radio on And then I'll just switch that off So then on the sides here We have a headphone jack And then on this side Is that power button So you just hold that down to turn it on And then you have the USB-C charger Which is another great feature In your pack You get one of these Lovely Yoto chargers And it means the charging is super fast As opposed to your Which has a docking station I always find the Yoto player Has kind of a slower charge But then it's more designed To kind of always be sat On its docking station for the majority of the time So it's kind of not needing to be charged necessarily But this charges really, really quickly And you get about 20 hours of play Once it's fully charged Which frankly is incredible So you can take on a guard journey And not have to worry about charging it And then in the top Is where you slot your cards So that's pretty much it Ours also has an adventure jacket on it In the colour sweetcorn And they do a range of different colours And these are basically Just little silicon jackets That go on the top to protect it And obviously it is something Designed to go out and about So it's also got the little lanyard on it Just to keep it from knocks and things And then you just take your card And slot it in And it starts playing immediately Again you can Change the volume And limit it on your app And then when you turn this now It flicks through The chapters Or the different Sections of the story And it just has a little Image come up on the display Is all you get And so that's essentially it So user friendly So easy for children to manipulate And be in control of their own listening And finally I cannot Do a review video of the Yoto Mini Without mentioning the fact That it has Bluetooth capability Just as it's Big Brother counterpart Having the Bluetooth connectivity Just in my eyes Just makes it even better So it works as just like A Bluetooth speaker Connected to your phone So in order to do that You simply hold down The button on the left And you get the Bluetooth symbol And then on your phone When the little dot comes up You're connected And then this means you can use It as just a Bluetooth speaker If you have any apps Which you can play stories through You can do that I often use The players as just a Bluetooth speaker If I'm listening to an audio book Or something like that during the day I think the sound quality is fab from them So yeah I couldn't go without a review Without mentioning that Because I never had a Bluetooth speaker Up until the point of having a Yoto player And it's just revolutionised my life Because now I can actually listen to books Whilst I get on with my life So anyway let's head out And show you how we get on With our Yoto Mini out and about Let's do it Take my hand I know just what to do On the beat keep dancing Through the night Stay up until the morning light The morning light So come on over We can make it through Take my hand I know just what to do On the beat keep dancing Through the night The morning light Oh, the morning light Oh, I just wanna be your superman Come fly with me Just take my hand And now that we are cruising in the cloud You better watch out for that crab tonight So come on over We can make it through Thanks for watching this week's video And I really hope this review has been useful to you Don't forget to head over to my Instagram Where you could be in with a chance to win A little Yoto Mini for yourself And I will see you again next week Bye
