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.
Yoto also sells a ready-made card of this kind, so you can skip the upload: Yoto My First Classical Music Album card. Prices change, so check Amazon.
Some links here earn us a small commission if you buy. It costs you nothing and it does not decide what goes on this page — the things we think are not worth the money are listed as exactly that. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
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.
