'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.
These Amazon kids offerings just went live today
If you have an Amazon Echo device and kids, you probably know what an entertaining combination they make. I've got countless videos of my kids and toddler trying to get Alexa to play music or tell a joke. It's a sign of the times and Amazon knows it.
Now, Amazon is officially making Explore with Alexa available on Echo devices to boost the relationship between kids and its technology.

Explore with Alexa will give your most curious children a run for their money, and encourage those who aren't as curious to dig a little deeper. When a child asks Alexa for a dinosaur joke, Alexa will share one and then encourage them to explore further by asking if they'd like to hear something interesting about dinosaurs.
This feature is powered by information from trusted sources, such as the World Wildlife Fund and A-Z Animals, and will be available on Echo devices that are set up with a child profile and have access to Amazon Kids+.
And if you're looking for an Echo device to use Explore with Alexa, the brand new Amazon Echo Pop Kids also just went on sale today. As a compact smart speaker made for children, the Echo Pop is a powerful device that makes Alexa fit seamlessly into small spaces.
