There are toys that get politely used. There are toys that gather dust. And then there’s the Sing with Colourblocks Yoto Card, which has essentially hijacked our house since it dropped through the letterbox.
When I say it’s been played non-stop, I mean non-stop. Breakfast? On. Craft time? On. That chaotic pre-tea witching hour? Absolutely on. The neighbours now know the words too.
Designed for use with a Yoto Player, this card delivers nearly 50 minutes of colourful, high-energy songs featuring the much-loved characters from Colourblocks. There’s the theme tune (which will live in your head rent-free), character songs, and upbeat numbers that somehow manage to teach colour recognition and mixing without feeling like a lesson disguised as fun. It’s just… fun.
In a world where “just one episode” somehow morphs into an hour of glazed-over scrolling, this feels refreshingly analogue. Pop the card in, press play, and that’s it. No ads. No algorithm. No blue light battles. Just music, imagination and surprisingly enthusiastic kitchen dance routines.
The songs are bright, punchy and genuinely well-produced – not the kind of nursery tracks that make adults quietly lose the will. Yes, you’ll hear them a lot but it won’t be long before you’re singing along.
If you’ve got a preschooler who loves Colourblocks, music, or simply pressing buttons with purpose, this is an easy win. It’s educational without announcing itself as such, energetic without being chaotic and addictive in the way only small-child anthems can be.
Be warned though: once it’s in the player, you may not hear anything else anytime soon.
