【Roman Perez Jr. Archives】

If you're stuck in the house with the kids and Roman Perez Jr. Archivesdon't know how to keep them entertained, Spotify has your back.

The music streaming service launched its standalone Spotify Kids app in the U.S., France, and Canada on Tuesday. This came after an extended beta period which saw the app slowly roll out in the UK and Australia. In case the name didn't make it clear, it's a special version of Spotify made for kids, specifically ages three and up.

We'll get the bad news out of the way first: You need a Spotify Premium Family subscription to access Spotify Kids. That's $15 per month, which will understandably be too much for some families.

Now for the good news. Assuming you use the North American version, you'll get access to 8,000 songs as well as audiobook and fairy tale content from the likes of Disney, among others. For bedtime, there's a selection of nighttime stories, lullabies, and ambient music to lull those restless kiddos to sleep at the end of another quarantined day.

Rounding out the list are educational songs, sponsored playlists from movies like Frozen 2, and special playlists for Spanish-language music and Christian music in the U.S. app. Before you ask, yes, it's all hand-selected by a team of curators. Spotify isn't trusting the sanity of you and your children to questionable algorithms.

If you've had trouble holding your kids' attention or getting them to sleep during our national social distancing period, maybe Spotify Kids will help. You better be prepared to listen to a lot of Frozen, though.
