10 Best Kid's Karaoke Machine For Budding Music Stars

This classic karaoke system supports CDs, CDGs and hooks up to Bluetooth, so your kids have tons of options to get their favourite tune on the speakers. It comes with two 'chart hits' CDGs with 18 tracks apiece, and a kids' CDG of 20 songs. It doesn't have a display screen to read the lyrics from, but it is easily hooked up to the TV, and the LED lights on the front create a super-charged party atmosphere. Though the speaker and microphone quality aren't strictly professional level, it can be hooked up quite quickly to a different speaker system. A good all-rounder.

This microphone allows you to experience all the features of a proper machine but all in one lightweight, hand-sized package. Jazzy LED lights on the back of the mic provide the party atmosphere whilst buttons on the front adjust music, echo and volume. With Bluetooth capabilities (as well as regular wire connectivity) and surprisingly good speakers considering their size, this mic provides all the fun without the fuss. We like the stylish rose gold, but it's available in black and purple, too!

The scaled-up version of the Groove Mini (featured further down), this machine also has fun voice-changing effects to play around with, as well as 100-watt power output, CD/CDG player and Bluetooth playback,  disco lights and a built-in screen to read the lyrics from. Buy an extra microphone to use with the second mic port, and you have yourself the ultimate home karaoke system. At £150, it doesn't come cheap, but it checks a lot of boxes.

This nifty stereo-style system is lightweight, battery-powered and features an easy-carry handle across the top, making it super portable. Just clip a phone or tablet into the cradle, and you're ready to go, though devices can also be connected via Bluetooth. The speakers are pretty good quality for the price, making this is a great little starter system for kids that won't break the bank.

What's more fun and less scary than singing karaoke alone? A duet, of course! This karaoke machine with an in-built light show from RockJam has two microphones included so your kids can sing away with friends or siblings (and avoid squabbles over whose turn it is). The machine has the benefit of both Bluetooth and aux input, two reasonably powerful five-watt speakers, a rechargeable battery that makes it fully portable and a funky light system on the front.

Connect via Bluetooth and play any song you like on this fun, multi-coloured machine. Two microphone jacks allow for duets (though only one mic is included) and there's the option to plug it in or use batteries if you want to transport it. The mood lights change with the music for an extra fun touch.

Perfect for children four years and older, this kids' karaoke machine with two microphones is the ideal sing-along set for beginners. Featuring a bright Peppa Pig design, built-in CD player, two basic volume control dials and a handle that makes it easy for little people to carry it around with them, it's simple, lightweight and easy to use. The two microphones mean two can get in on the fun at once (no bickering!) and though the volume doesn't go super loud, we feel some might see this as a bonus rather than a disadvantage...

The coolest thing about this little machine is the six voice-changing effects - endless entertainment on top of the usual sing-along fun! With Bluetooth connectivity and synchronised light effects, it's got all the features of a great machine, with built-in capabilities that allow for a little extra fun and silliness on top. It's also able to be used with batteries, making it more portable (not to mention affordable) than the bigger model.

This Trolls-themed boombox is a great beginner karaoke system for fans of the films, featuring all the top jams from Trolls 2 for your little one to bop along to. Kids can also connect a device with an aux chord and choose a song of their choice for freestyle fun. The bright, retro boombox style is sure to make it an immediate favourite and, at £30, it's a super affordable machine for young ones making their first foray into karaoke.
