About this item

Echo Dot kids – Our most popular and cutest smart speaker with Alexa, made for kids (not a toy). The improved speaker delivers clearer vocals and rich, vibrant sound.
Where learning meets fun – Kids can ask Alexa to play music, read a bedtime story, get help with their homework, and more. Stream songs from Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, and others.
Includes 1 year of Amazon Kids+ – A digital subscription designed for kids aged 3-12 to safely learn, grow, and explore. On Echo Dot, kids can enjoy kid-friendly Audible books, interactive games, fun Morning Routines, and educational Alexa skills. After 1 year, your subscription will automatically renew every month starting at just $5.99/month plus applicable tax. You may cancel any time by visiting the Amazon Parent Dashboard or contacting Customer Service.
Easy-to-use parental controls – Alexa will automatically give kid-friendly responses and filter explicit songs. You can also set daily time limits and review activity in the Amazon Parent Dashboard.
For growing independence - Kids can help take charge of their routines with Alexa by setting their own alarms or turning off compatible smart lights. Use the Hey Disney! voice assistant to get the weather with Mickey, set a reading timer with Dory or Olaf, and more.
Turn Alexa's voice into a dragon– Kids can customize the way their Alexa sounds with a pretend owl or dragon voice with the included 1 year of Amazon Kids+.
2-year worry-free guarantee – If it breaks, return it and we’ll replace it for free.

The owl design of the Alexa speaker is absolutely charming and a delightful addition to any room. Its whimsical look makes it especially appealing for kids' rooms or as a fun decorative piece. Beyond the design, it functions just as well as any other Alexa device, providing all the usual smart assistant features like controlling smart home devices, playing music, setting reminders, and answering questions. The sound quality is surprisingly good for its size, and the owl theme adds a playful touch that makes interacting with Alexa more enjoyable. It’s both functional and fun, making it a great purchase!

We recently added the Echo Dot Owl to our home, and it has quickly become a favorite for my preschooler! The ability to control her nightlight and change its color to match her mood has made bedtime much more enjoyable. She loves experimenting with the different hues, creating a cozy atmosphere just for her.

What really impressed me is how well Alexa responds to her little voice. Even when she doesn’t articulate clearly, Alexa understands her requests—much better than I expected! My daughter enjoys asking for music, and I appreciate that it pulls from her Spotify Kids account, ensuring that the songs playing are always age-appropriate.

She’s also discovered the joy of storytelling; she frequently asks Alexa to tell her a story. We’ve started using it as a timer for her activities and even as a gentle alarm in the mornings.

On top of all these fantastic features, the design of the Echo Dot Owl is super cute! We’re even considering getting the little nest stand for added charm. Overall, this device has been a wonderful addition to our home, providing entertainment, comfort, and a touch of magic for my child. I highly recommend it for any family with young kids!

We love our boys Amazon Kids Tablet, but we added this device to their room and we are already impressed. Some of the features includes playing music, answering questions, reading books/podcasts and a customizable alarm, made just for kids. My child is 4 years old and was able to successfully ask it to perform multiple functions. My favorite feature is the intercom like function, I can call them from the Echo device in my room or phone to communicate. Super easy to use and set up. It fits in the size of your hand and can be moved or taken with you with ease. Can be controlled via buttons on the device or through the app. 10/10 from us!! Check it out for yourself!

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly loud speaker and fun theme
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2023
I just recently purchased this for my son's 6th birthday to help him have an option for audiobooks, alarm clock, and listening to music and he LOVES it! He greets Alexa every time he gets home and says goodnight to her and gets a bedtime story from her while he waits for me to come read to him and tuck him in. We have successfully added a few Alexa skills (including Big Fart which MAY have been a mistake on my part) and so far they seem to work pretty well.

Pros:
- Cute dragon theme and image (Alexa introduces herself and says she likes to pretend she is a dragon and has a kid-friendly voice character)
- Optional additional Dragon Egg Cradle (have not personally purchased yet but am tempted)
- Great resource to allow kids access to audiobooks and learning materials with parental controls through the parent dashboard
- 1 year free subscription to Amazon Kids+ which is a great deal if you have an amazon kids tablet already (same price as you already pay for a year and an echo dot? Yes please!)
- An avenue for little ones to ask some of their random questions to someone other than overloaded parents
- Many cool Alexa skills from independent companies (Math practice games? Yes! Talk to Pikachu? Yes!)
- Alarm clock, speaker, nightlight and more in one!

Cons:
- Alexa can sometimes get very confused. This can be frustrating for anyone, but especially for little ones with little tolerance for the pitfalls of technology. Sometimes she doesn't hear you correctly and says she can't do something they know she can do. Sometimes she starts playing music while doing another skill and the speaker just can't take it. Sometimes she just plain doesn't listen the first 10 times you try and ask. It's........ frustrating and stressful when this happens to say the least. Teach your little one how to reset Alexa if this happens so they can feel in control instead of having a meltdown or running out screaming over her.
- Not all of the Alexa skills work quite how they are meant to and will totally mess Alexa up and require a reset and removal of the skill entirely.
- Alexa has very specific commands and these can be hard to remember sometimes. Consider writing out or typing up a list of the most common commands for little ones to help them remember the right order of words.
- The Echo dot can get surprisingly loud and when you ask Alexa to turn down the volume it is in very small increments so you will need to do it manually if they have somehow turned it up to blasting.
- After Alexa's bedtime has hit she will not respond to any commands or be able to use any skills. This includes asking her to stop playing something she already was, using a nightlight skill, or setting an alarm. The only option you have after her off time is to manually reset it so she goes quiet. The timer options are awesome tools to keep little ones from turning her on and playing with her instead of going to bed, but does restrict some of the bedtime options you could have like the nightlight.

Overall, we have loved our experience with this product so far and it has only been in use for about a week (but pretty constantly). We'll see how this holds up over time!

5.0 out of 5 stars Echo Dot Kids: Our Household’s Entertainment Powerhouse!
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2024
The Echo Dot Kids has quickly become the most used item in our home, and for good reason. Our 4-year-old absolutely loves it and spends her days asking Alexa to play her favorite songs. It’s heartwarming to see her so engaged, and it’s become a fantastic exercise tool for her – she spends hours dancing around the house, and we couldn’t be happier!

The kid-friendly features are a huge bonus. Alexa’s responses are tailored to be age-appropriate and engaging, making it not just a music player but a great learning tool as well. The parental controls give us peace of mind, ensuring that she’s only accessing content that’s suitable for her age.

Overall, the Echo Dot Kids has been a fantastic addition to our household. It combines entertainment, exercise, and learning in one compact device. It’s a great value for the money, and seeing our daughter so active and entertained makes it worth every penny. If you’re looking for a fun and educational gadget for your child, this is a must-have!
