Learning just got a whole lot more fun. Made with little ones in mind, the Amazon Echo Dot Kids has a funky design, kid-friendly content, and most importantly – parental controls. They can ask Alexa, the built-in voice assistant, questions like “Alexa, what sound does a tiger make?” or “Alexa, how far away is the moon?”. Handy when they get stuck on a homework question – or are just feeling curious. This 5th gen speaker is the same dinky size as the 4th gen, but Amazon have packed in a larger driver, so it sounds louder than ever. Perfect for streaming music, listening to a bedtime story, or playing interactive games. They can take charge of their routines as they grow more independent too. Alexa can help them set their own alarms, switch off smart lights, and call (parent-approved) friends and family.
