Perfect for a Kid-Friendly Smart Room – Engaging, Educational, and Fun!
I love this smart device for my toddler’s room! The cute design and variety of fun voices make it super engaging. One of my favorite features is the 'Daily News Just for Kids,' which shares fun science facts and new discoveries each day. There are also plenty of kid-friendly skills—like Amazon Storytime for bedtime and music playback for favorite songs during the day. The first year of the subscription is free, with a small fee afterward (check the terms), but it's definitely worth it. I also turned my toddler’s room into a smart room, so he can ask Alexa to turn the lights on and off since he can’t reach the switch yet. It’s educational and convenient, and my child loves interacting with it!

Absolutely Adorable and Highly suited for children
Could this be any cuter?! Firstly, it's an Amazon brand so you know the quality is going to be top tier, Secondly, how cute is this!? My daughter loves owls and was so excited after opening this gift for her birthday. I didn't even know this product existed until looking for a birthday gift. This plays music for her, she's changed the voice and name, she can ask this age appropriate questions, and a year subscription to Amazon kids which is also available for my children's tablets. Absolutely great purchase and we love the Owl!

Fun Owl for my kids
I love Amazon technology for kids! We use the Kindle and the Amazon Fire tablet for my children, and my latest purchase is the Echo Dot Owl, which my kids adore. It's easy for them to use to call either me or Daddy, set reminders, ask questions, and play music, which my 3-year-old toddler loves. The sound quality and responsiveness are great. The best part is that I can control everything from my phone using parental controls.

Surprisingly loud speaker and fun theme
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!

Great for kids room if you have other Alexa devices
The owl is super cute. I love the size of the dot. Does everything I would want it to, I really like that it tells the temperature of the room. Would recommend if you have other Alexa devices.

So cute!
My 5 year old nephew comes over for a visit and is obsessed with our Alexa's! When I saw that there was a kids version it was the perfect Christmas gift for him!. This one is catered to young kids and settings to keep them safe. It understands him and responds correctly. Sound quality is good. The owl is cute with a fun color.
