Pump up your Echo Dot Kids' Edition with these Bluetooth speakers

When it comes to finding great Echo Dot kids speakers to pair with the Echo Dot Kids Edition, you're spoiled for choice. You can go the traditional route by using 3.5mm auxiliary cables, but where's the fun in that? These Bluetooth speakers will speak perfectly to your child's style, and a few of them also speak to a parent's practicality.

Waterproof

Altec Lansing IMW258 Mini H2O

Staff pick

The Altec Lansing IMW258 is likely the best option for a Bluetooth speaker to pair with the Echo Dot Kids. No, you might not be taking it to the pool, but it will resist accidental spills and comes in several stylish colors.

Big Sound

DOSS SoundBox XS Touch

This impressively-named speaker is touch-sensitive, which can be super-fun for a child, but admittedly less so for parents. Plus, there are two 5-watt drivers to provide big sound in a small package.

Nightstand buddy

This technicolor Bluetooth speaker doubles as a color-changing, dimmable bedside lamp and an alarm clock. No matter what theme your room or your music, this speaker can match it and light up the pillow fort party.
