I got a little portable record player for my almost 4-year old recently so she can listen to music with since she was starting to show interest in my turntable. I loaded up on some used kids records specifically for her so she could enjoy the physical aspect of picking out records and looking at the books that come with them. Funnily enough the one 'nice' record I got her was a new reissue of Yellow Submarine which instantly became scratched to the point of not being able to play, whereas all these other $3 30-year-old records have been tossed around just the same with nary a scratch. Go figure.
I also got an Alexa Dot as well and that has taken over the record player as she can now yell incessantly at Alexa to play 'Let It Go' a million times a day. So for now digital has won over analog for her, or at least 50/50.
