If you’re looking to set up a Spotify account for your kids, there are a few things you’ll need. First, you’ll need an account with Spotify. Second, you’ll need to create a child’s account. Finally, you’ll need to create a password for the child’s account. Once you have an account and password, it’s time to set up your child’s Spotify. To do this, first open the Spotify app on your device and sign in with your account information. Then click on the “Accounts” tab and select “Your child.” In the “Account Details” section, enter in your child’s name and email address. Click on the “Create Account” button and enter in some basic information about your child such as their age and gender. You can also choose to add them as an “active user.” Once you’ve created an account for your kid and set up their password, it’s time to start listening to music! To do this, open the Spotify app on your device and sign in with their account information. Then click on the “Music” tab and select “My Child.” In the “Music Details” section, enter in their name and email address. Click on the “Add Music” button and add some of their favorite songs from Spotify! You can also choose which songs they can listen to at any time by selecting one of three playlists: morning wake-up music, afternoon recess music or nighttime sleep-time music. When they’re done listening to their favorite songs from Spotify, they can close out the app by clicking on the “Exit Music” button or by pressing down on one of its icons (depending on which playlist they’re currently using). They can then close out of both apps completely by pressingDone when they see that red Done button next to either playlist name or just by hittingEsc when they see that red Esc button next to any other tab in either app!
Spotify Kids is a standalone listening app built with the unique needs of young ones in mind. With a Spotify Premium Family subscription of $14.99/month, you can give your kids their own app with 8,000+ songs, stories, and lullabies.
How to Set Up Spotify Kids
Before you can access the Spotify Kids app, you’ll need to have a Spotify Premium Family subscription. To sign up for the $14.99/month service, go to Spotify’s Premium Family page and follow the prompts. Once you’ve signed up and your primary account is active, it’s time to create the account(s) for your kids.
To create a new Spotify Kids account, download the Spotify Kids app onto your device from the Google Play Store for Android or Apple App Store for iPhone or iPad. Launch the app and tap the “Log In” button.
Enter your login credentials and tap “Continue” on the confirmation screen. Enter your kid’s name. You can optionally enter your kid’s birthday. The Spotify Kids Privacy Policy contains additional information on how this data is used.
When you’re done, press “Continue”. You’ll receive a separate Privacy Notice receipt via email to verify that you’ve agreed to the terms listed therein.
Next, you can choose between two separate styles for both the content and the interface of Spotify Kids. For a more detailed interface with more radio-friendly music, select “Audio for older kids”. For a simpler interface with children’s songs, bedtime stories, and lullabies, choose “Audio for younger kids”.
Tap “Help me choose” for more information on the content and style of each choice. You can switch back and forth at any time by accessing the Settings menu in the Spotify Kids app. When you’re finished, press “Continue”.
Choose an avatar to represent this kids account. The main Spotify Kids interface will load, depending on whether you selected the content for younger or older kids. You can add additional kids accounts by accessing the Parental Settings menu, as shown below, and repeating these steps.
How to Manage Your Spotify Kids Account
To access the Settings menu in Spotify Kids, tap the kid’s avatar in the top left. From this screen, you can access Parental Settings by tapping the gear icon in the top right. You can also touch the pencil icon in the center of the screen to change the kid’s avatar to a different character.
You’ll be prompted to set up a secret four-digit password. If you’ve already set one up for your account, you’ll be prompted to enter it instead. You can change this PIN later by accessing this same menu. This is also where you can add a kids account. Each Spotify Premium Family subscription can invite up to five additional users.
Once you’re in the Parental Settings menu, tap “Edit” next to any kids account to change the name, birthday, or content settings. You can also delete the kids account from that submenu.
Having an exclusive app just for kids is a great step forward, both in terms of a parent’s peace of mind and the youngling’s education, enjoyment, and independence.
