As children get older it can get harder and harder to know what to get them for Christmas. This post is full of Christmas gift ideas for children aged 6 to 8.
Yoto player bundles
This screen-free audio player is a brilliant way to spark a child’s imagination without adding another screen to the mix. With the Yoto Player, kids simply slot in a “Yoto Card” to hear stories, music, podcasts and sleep sounds, and there are hundreds to choose from.
It’s designed to feel safe and independent: there are no ads, no camera, no microphone — just simple, tactile controls and a fun pixel display. Plus, it doubles as a night light with an “ok-to-wake” clock, helping children develop routines for sleep and play.
If you’re not sure what to buy, Yoto have some fantastic bundles (On offer for Black Friday until 1st December). Whether you go for the classic Yoto player or a Yoto Mini, there are lots of options for extras such as cards and accessories.

Lost on Infinity
From an attic in North London to the world, the award-winning ecological audio adventure Lost on Infinity is now available for the first time as a fully illustrated children’s book.
Originally known as ‘Rockford’s Rock Opera’, Lost on Infinity was first launched as a dramatised musical audiobook in 2010. The story captured the hearts and imaginations of fans of all ages, having been downloaded over 2 million times and praised as a powerful teaching tool for children of all abilities.
Now, the new illustrated book version of Lost on Infinity brings together the cult audio story with colour pictures, maps, and more – along with instant links to the audiobook and songs that made the story ‘a classic of its time’ – to create a uniquely immersive storytelling experience.
The Island of Infinity is home to the last one of every extinct creature on earth. When Moog, a boy from Battersea, and his dog Rockford find themselves on Infinity, they discover a cast of amazing characters – from the small but mighty ‘Cocklebur Ick’ to the gigantic ‘Herculous Bird’ and the irritable guitar-wielding Registrar. As they race to escape the island, Moog and Rockford discover Infinity’s extraordinary secret and a message for the world that only they can deliver.
With surprising and inspiring insight, Lost on Infinity is a thrilling adventure that delivers a real-world message of hope for current and future audiences.
