Getting this onto a card
These links take you to each track on YouTube so you can listen and decide what makes the cut. Getting the audio itself is up to you — buy it, or use something you already own. Then upload your files to a Make Your Own card in the Yoto app and give each track an icon.
How Make Your Own cards work covers what is actually stored on the card, and the icons guide covers giving each track a picture your child can recognise.
