Alexa skills for kids are fun, educational, and interactive! My family loves playing music and reading Audible books with Alexa, but there are many more amazing Alexa skills just for kids. I’m sharing our 10 favorite Alexa skills for kids that you should try today.

You can add Alexa to any room with a simple Amazon Echo Dot. Amazon even makes an Echo Dot Kids Edition with a 2 year worry-free guarantee, a kid-friendly case and 1 year of FreeTime Unlimited. You can even get an Echo Auto and take Alexa on your next road trip!

With these Alexa skills, kids can dance, learn animal sounds, settle a court case or start a lemonade stand. If they love to read, Alexa will read them a bedtime story or take them on a fun imaginative journey. And, moms rejoice, because Alexa has a skill to make teeth brushing fun!

“Alexa, Animal Workout”

Welcome to animal workout, where you are no longer a human, but an animal. Alexa guides kids to pretend they are animals and gives fun facts about each animal. After learning about how each animal acts, Alexa plays exciting music to give kids a chance to practice being that new animal. This is educational and fun!

This is my kid’s favorite feature of Alexa. She will read you a random bedtime story. Best part is many of the books she reads are professionally narrated with background sounds and fun.
