Where to Buy Yoto Make Your Own Cards
There are BIG changes happening to the Yoto Club. To find out more check out this post.
Borrow Box
If you don’t already use Borrow Box I’d highly recommend it. It’s available to anyone in the UK and Australia and some parts of the US, all you need is a library card. You can borrow a wide selection of audio books for up to 21 days.
Once you’ve chosen your title you can download and add it like you normally would to a Make Your Own Yoto Card. Just keep a reminder of when your time is up on the rental so you can remove it from the card. You can always borrow it again in future.
Can you use Yoto as a Bluetooth Speaker?
Yes, both the Yoto Player and Yoto Mini Player can be used as a Bluetooth speaker. This means you can significantly expand what you can listen to on your players.
Flying Eye Books as Audiobooks
Flying Eye Books have announced that three of their wonderful books are now available as audiobook titles: Secret Lives of Unicorns, Secret Lives of Mermaids and Secret Lives of Dragons. You can find out more information about how to access these books here.
Where to Purchase Yoto Make Your Own Cards?
