Released in 2022, the 5th Gen Echo Dot Kids is the kiddo version of Amazon's powerful smart speaker. It basically does everything the regular Echo Dot can do, but also has parental controls and filters to keep things PG for your little ones. The speaker comes in an adorable owl or dragon design, with a free one-year subscription to Amazon Kids+, and with Alexa on board. Kids can ask Alexa to play their favorite songs, read them a bedtime story, help them with homework, and more. Amazon is currently offering the speaker for just $27.99 ahead of Prime Day — that's 53% off and its lowest price to date.
