The Amazon Echo Dot is on sale today for $39.99!  If you haven’t heard of the Dot, it’s basically a smaller version of the Amazon Echo.  I got my kids each one for their birthdays, and they have been a HUGE hit!

Here are some of the features we are loving so far:

  • It’s voice activated – use it to make grocery lists, set alarms, play music, and it can even do things like order pizza for you or turn on your lights!
  • The “skills” features – you can play trivia games (including Jeapordy!), hear a daily joke, find recipes, and more!
  • It works as a bluetooth speaker – Use it to play your favorite music from Pandora, Spotify, Amazon Music and more!  My kids like to use it at night to play soothing background noise, too.
  • Use it as an alarm clock – you don’t need an alarm clock because you can tell Alexa when to wake you up!

This would be great to put away as a Christmas gift for tweens or teens!
