@iteles even though the Make Your Own (MYO) cards are out-of-stock, do you want to place the order for the player and a few pre-made cards so that we have it for our up-coming road trip? 👼💭

Should we order this to Lisbon directly?
Wish we had it for the trip down to Lisbon!

I've managed to find a pack of blanks as well 👍

@iteles are you thinking of ordering the Yoto Mini
https://eu.yotoplay.com/yoto-mini

or the original/full-size player that has the matrix display and light: https://eu.yotoplay.com/yoto-player

The bigger one will obvs be less portable on Air journeys; but how many of those are we realistically doing?
But I think the bigger one is nicer around the house and day-to-day ... 💭

Oh sorry, I ordered the small one but can still change that order tonight as it wasn't dispatched before end of day.

The differences are the size and the big one has a night light (which we don't want) and a charging dock.

I like the small one. It was a really good size for his hand and I envision him taking it everywhere rather than just on travel - to the park, to Gerês etc. even carrying it around the house.

Looks like the big one has push buttons which as easier from an earlier age but the turn motion is a good one to learn!

Anyway. Happy with either.

The Mini one seems like the better option for people who do a lot of travelling or just prefer a more compact device. The case/number is also cheaper for the mini. 👌🏻

Thank you for placing the order. 🎉

Wouldn't have got the Sweet Corn (Yellow #e6db8b) case. 🟨
it will be filthy and require more frequent cleaning/maintenance than the darker colors.

Regardless of societal constructs around colors and gender ...

I still prefer the blue (#4e91cf) one.
I know Yellow is His favourite color and if you side-by-side A-B tested the two colors, He would probably pick it.
Anyway ...
Looking forward to it arriving. 🙌

We purchased it and he really enjoys it when it's out!

He's not really into the stories yet, just the music.

We need a permanent home for it so Alex can use it more and understand the commands himself.
Or we use it as we have been so far: as a treat travel toy.
