How many times a day does your child ask you to play “We Don’t Talk About Bruno”? Give them control over the music with Jooki, a wi-fi- and Bluetooth–enabled speaker that lets children 3 and up stream songs and other parent–curated audio content. Via the Jooki app, parents can pair pre-approved Spotify playlists and audiobooks (as well as downloaded MP3 files) to Jooki tokens and figurines, which little ones plug in to the device to start, stop, and pause a listening experience. And, yes, this device is durable enough to survive “Baby Shark” dance parties. The best part: the second iteration of the device connects to wireless headphones.
