If you have kids and an Amazon Echo device in your home, then you probably already appreciate having a smart voice assistant with kids.
My kids love asking Alexa and Siri questions and jokes — especially asking them to turn on “party mode,” which triggers our living room lights to change color and start playing music. Trolls movie. This new Echo Dot Kids with parental controls is perfect for that.
Why will they like it
The 5th generation Echo Dot Kids is a visually appealing speaker, with an Owl or Dragon character on the speaker, and it’s the perfect addition to the playroom. Visuals aside, kids will love Alexa’s capabilities, too.
The Echo Dot Kit comes with a one-year subscription to Amazon+ Kids, providing access to kid-friendly Audible books, interactive games, and Alexa educational skills. In addition, the voice assistant can even help them with their homework.
You’ll also love The Echo Dot Kids for its parental controls. Alexa can intelligently filter obscene songs and ensure a kid-friendly response. The parent dashboard can also control daily time limits, view recent activity, and lock emergency contacts for kids to call in case of an emergency.
This device acts as an intelligent voice assistant, a Eero . Wi-Fi Extender, and is an electronic educator for children. Your kids can ask Alexa questions and jokes, buying you 20 minutes to read this article, among other ZDNET gift guides.
