Card Drop – 14 May 2026 (Latest)
This week’s Yoto card drop is a huge Yoto Originals release, packed with energetic music, imaginative storytelling, interactive fun and space-themed adventures. Ideal if you are a Yoto Club members as you’ll get the digital version of these available to you for free while you are in the club. There’s also a lovely mix of multilingual learning cards and inspiring real-world stories for younger listeners.
📚 All Yoto Card Stores
Totally Random… (5–10)
A playful interactive collection featuring affirmations, silly fortunes and unusual facts spread across three cards. Designed to work interactively with Yoto Players and Minis, there are hundreds of different responses to discover. These cards are interactive cards, like Spy Club, so they do require a player – Yoto Player or Yoto Mini to get the experience and they won’t play in the app.
Wilhelmina Shakes (7–10)
Child-friendly introduction to Shakespeare, retelling famous plays in a more accessible and engaging way. Young listeners are introduced to memorable characters, magical moments and some of Shakespeare’s best-known lines without needing to tackle the original texts. Shakespeare titles include: A Midsummer Night’s Dream; Twelfth Night; As You Like It; The Tempest; A Winter’s Tale. I always think that A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a great first introduction to Shakespeare for a younger audience. 1 hour and 13 minutes in duration.
Space Rock (All ages)
A high-energy music card inspired by classic rock and space exploration, blending guitar-driven songs with cosmic adventures. This sounds like a particularly fun choice for children who enjoy energetic music and imaginative themes. I found that it took me back to 80/90s rock! 27 minutes in duration.
Yoto Dance Party (6+)
A lively dance music collection filled with upbeat tracks designed for kitchen discos, movement breaks and energetic family listening sessions. One half of the card features standard tracks with the second half of the card having instrumental versions of each of the tracks. After School Boogie would make a great one for the end of school. 1 hour and 3 minutes in duration.
There’s Still More in this Yoto Drop! Keep Reading…
5-Minute Outer Space Stories (4–7)
A collection of quick space adventures featuring aliens, races, wormholes and intergalactic missions. The short format makes these ideal for younger listeners who enjoy action-packed storytelling in smaller chunks. There also perfect for if you need a little filler for a few minutes to get food ready or set up a new activity. You get 5 different stories between about 6-8 minutes in duration each – totally 35 minutes in total.
Country Cookin’ (All ages)
A playful country music album inspired by food, family meals and cooking, with catchy songs about barbecues, cookies and dinner table chaos. Only 17 minutes in duration, which I usually feel is a little on the short side. However, these country style tunes all about food are actually really catchy and we love them! ‘Set the Table’ is the perfect tune to get kids helping out to lay the table – beware – they’ll be wanting a bread plate!
Zoozic Moozic (5–7)
A funny musical story set inside a chaotic animal-run music shop where every customer brings new problems and surprises. A very playful choice for children who enjoy character-driven humour and music. Oh gosh the theme song is a total earworm! Between 17-21 minutes in duration for each of the three cards.

A playful French-language English learning pack designed to introduce children to spoken English through games, movement and songs. Teddy the travelling teddy bear guides listeners through different English-speaking countries, encouraging natural language learning without pressure or memorising vocabulary lists.

UK, Australia, & Europe Yoto Card Stores
Lottie Brooks Collection (9–12)
Katie Kirby’s hugely popular diary-style series arrives on Yoto in a four-card collection following Lottie through embarrassing school moments, friendship drama and chaotic teenage disasters. Full of humour and relatable moments for older children. A couple of these have been with us for a while. The two new cards have been added to the collection so it’s worth checking if you’ve already purchased any before.
The new titles:
The Mega-Complicated Crushes of Lottie Brooks (9–11)
Lottie heads to France for the summer and suddenly finds herself caught between two crushes, awkward family moments and plenty of teenage-style chaos.
Lottie Brooks’s Totally Disastrous School-Trip (9–11)
A week-long school residential quickly spirals into disaster when friendships become complicated, diary secrets are exposed and the whole trip turns chaotic.
Parental Note:
Lottie Brooks is aimed at older children and tweens, with humour focused on friendships, school and embarrassing moments. Very relatable but slightly older in tone than many Yoto story cards. I think this will really depend upon your child and what they can relate to. My daughter is nine but she’s not at an age where these are the right choice for her yet.
How to Train Your Dragon Collection (7–10)
Join Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III on Viking adventures filled with dragons, danger and humour. A great option for fans of fantasy and action-packed storytelling. 9 hours and 32 minutes in total – around 3 hours per card.
US & Canada Yoto Card Stores
