My Nest Mini is getting a workout this week (which is more than I can say for myself). It's doing the usual things like keeping track of my shopping lists, setting timers, playing music and reminding me what day of the week it is. But it's also answering many of my kids' schoolwork questions as well as keeping them entertained while I get work done. There are more than 30 kid-friendly options from quizzes and trivia to games like freeze dance and musical chairs, though a family favorite is Mad Libs. Read our Google Nest Mini review.
My house has essentially become an open office and, like every open office I've worked in, headphones have been crucial for my whole family.

They're great, but they're also expensive. For less expensive options, check out the $28 iClever Bluetooth volume-limiting headphones. We haven't tested them, but they are well reviewed on Amazon. Read our Puro Sound Labs PuroQuiet Kids Bluetooth Headphones review.
